3-A Sanitary Standards are the industry standards governing how food and beverage processing equipment is built and handled. They were originally developed by three different interest groups representing regulators, equipment manufacturers, and processors. These industry standards are developed and maintained by 3-A Sanitary Standards Inc. which is an independent organization dedicated to improving the design of food and beverage equipment for sanitary purposes. The 3-A Sanitary Standards were created to accomplish two goals which are protecting food and beverage from contamination and ensuring all equipment parts and surfaces are cleanable.

You have dreams of taking your amazing beer recipes out of the kitchen and into a commercial brewery operation, for everyone in your proverbial backyard to share. Or maybe you took that leap a while back and have been brewing a few BBLs a year. Now you feel ready to upscale to a regional model and find even more appreciative craft beer customers through distribution. 

With 50-years of engineering and manufacturing craft brewing equipment under our belts, we have collaborated with brewers who are ready to go big and those who need a few more years of due diligence. Our resident brewery and process technology expert highlights the key milestones to reach before it's go-time on a 30BBL system or above.
