Beer30 is incredibly useful in all facets of our business. It's a great balance of every day features for the production team and in depth reporting for the sales and finance teams. We use Beer30 every day for every part of the business. It's easy to implement and the Beer30 team walks you through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of a downside or dislike with Beer30. Occasionally there will be an issue with the integration between Beer30 and Quickbooks, but it's almost always on the Quickbooks side and the Beer30 team goes above and beyond to resolve the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When I first started working at the brewery, 90% of our record keeping was paper and pen. If you spend any time in a brewery where things are prone to getting hosed down, you understand immediately why that's a terrible idea. In addition, it was hard to update excel spreadsheets because so often you don't have a moment to sit down at a computer and actually log information. We didn't have a great way to log information, inventory was a never ending adventure, and trying to find a recipe was more difficult than I like to recall. And that says nothing about recording fermentation data, dry hops, number of days in fermentation, etc. All in all, not the most helpful or effecient. We signed up with Beer30 at the end of 2020 and we haven't looked back. It has literally saved our sanity! All the relevent brewery information is a click away. We can run the program on our phones, ipads, and computers so you can see what is happening at any time and from any place. Yes, you still have to put in the information, but its so fast and easy that you can do it right in the moment. Beyond just making the general record keeping infinitely easier, my favorite parts about Beer30 are the insanely responsive customer service and the incredibly intuitive design of the software. We didn't require extensive training to set it up and start using it. I highly recommend this program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say that there is much that I dislike about Beer30. I do feel that they are responsive to all feature requests which can be a mixed blessing. On the one hand you get to have a real impact on the product that you are using daily. On the other hand, the new features can sometimes be at the expense of a streamlined interface. 99% of the time, it's just a matter of locating the item you are looking for and generally I find things to be pretty logical and easy to find.

It is hard to say what we like best as there are so many useful features. Overall, I would say it's reliability and instant support for all great features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On rare occasions it can be sluggish but this is quite rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Product covers all aspects of the Brewery Operations. The company name - The Fifth Ingredient - rings true as there is a tremendous amount of data in the system to help our business. From Planning to Production through to Sales, the application provides our team with access to key data. The MRP capability supports procurement and helps us manage our raw material inventory.
We have been able to link Sales and Production Forecasting to effectively manage the Supply/Demand challenges of our Taproom, on/off Premise customers. The Product is simple to use, and the Support function is outstanding. They have Global support, and the entire team is very knowledgeable. I have had some of the design team members jump in to address questions that need attention.
I was nervous about switching products after 5 years, but now believe that was the right decision. They continue to add features that help us manage the Supply Chain and Market challenges. No regrets about making the change! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have no real issue with the products. While all products could be better or add new features, the team listens to their customers and they are open to discussion about my recommendations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Beer 30 is user-friendly, efficient and effective. We have been extremely happy with the functionality of the system, but even happier with the excellent customer support and ongoing product development. The B30 group has a can-do attitude and they truly care about helping us optimize our brewery operations. We looked at a number of competitors' software offerings, but once we spoke to B30 and saw what they could do we never looked back. Truly best in class. I've got supply chain, accounting and brewers working hand in hand, truly collaborating on a day-to-day basis and all working from the same source of truth! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have not had any challenges the B30 team could not solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Beer30 is very brewery and quality focused. It is very segmented and not only easy to use, but also easy to train your staff so that they can input all the required data easily, on time, and in the right place making it much easier from a managment persepective.

It cannot track best before dates in inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's crucial to our brewery that each member of the production team is working from the same information, crafting the same consistent product, and recording data in the same reliable way. Beer30 has made managing production much more consistent, gives sales and Front of House valuable timelines for release schedules, and gives me peace of mind that all of our important data is current and secure in one location. Its ease of use, coupled with time savings and robust reporting, make it an easy piece of software to recommend to anyone looking to improve their management game.

B30 has been the key to obtaining the proper insight into our production costs, scheduling, and reporting data, making all three metics quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Can be pricey if you don't regularly use it but that could be said about all SAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Beer30 has taken our production to the next level. At Your Mates Brewing Co, we tried unsuccessfully to onboard with other inventory systems due to long winded on-boarding processes. After making the decision, we had on boarded and were brewing within two days and haven't skipped a beat since. Beer30 is constantly evolving and is even more powerful than when we first started using the software and we are excited to see where the program takes us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some things are a little difficult that aren't a focus like the complex packaging section but as with everything it has improved ten fold in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
