Craft Brewery Solutions is a new business developed by Darin Bertsch a 17-year veteran of KHS, Inc. Darin worked in the KHS filler and packaging line service group for 10-years before moving into the Turnkey Line / Project Management group. While in the service and Turnkey group Darin quickly learned how smartly some of the larger US brewers managed their equipment spare parts inventory. Rarely do the "Big Brewers" keep large/expensive spare parts for a machine in every one of their 10+ breweries. They manage their inventory by using technology and a common database to keep track of all suppliers’ parts: fillers. labelers, packers, brew houses, etc and allow any brewery to access the database and get the parts they need from anywhere in the country. “That concept and technology allowed the “big guys” to save a lot of time, money, inventory space, and worked really well”; says Darin. “Craft Brewery Solutions now offers the same technology and benefits to the Craft Brewery industry.” Breweries can join Craft Brewery Solutions (CBS) for an annual membership fee and CBS will catalog their inventory of spare parts into the database. By being a member you gain access to all of the other parts in the CBS database. If a brewery needs a part that’s out of stock at the OEM we can help find it somewhere else and get if shipped to you ASAP. Once that part arrives and is a perfect fit for the problem, a new part will be ordered from the OEM to re-stock the brewery where it came. Not only is Craft Brewery Solutions a great equipment parts inventory tool, but it is also rapidly becoming a go-to resource for members to find other brewery related parts and services. Craft Brewery Solutions moto “Need it? Find it, Get it, Now!”, is all about getting the right part to the right customer as quickly and cost effectively as possible to keep your brewery running.
