A brewery is a great place for people to come together and enjoy craft beers made on site. However, it’s important to keep your brewery as sanitary as possible. Here are some tips on designing your new brewery to be as safe and sanitary as possible.
Keep Customers Safe and Healthy
Your customers are your first priority. You need to design your brewery to adhere to recent social distancing standards. Start by keeping booths and tables at least six feet apart. You should also make a point to install hand sanitizer dispensers in areas where people might make contact with each other. You may also want to provide masks for people who might forget one themselves. While people don’t necessarily have to wear masks while seated, many states still require masks when ordering drinks.
Install Easy-to-Clean Flooring
You have many flooring options. Some companies, like Archway Brick and Tile, know that some flooring options are much easier to clean than others. Clean floors mean a cleaner brewery overall. Talk to your local brick and tile company to go over your options. Some popular options include:
- epoxy
- ceramic
- vinyl
- concrete
All of these options are easy to clean. All you need to do is sweep and mop at the end of the night.
Educate Yourself on the Best Sanitation Practices
Before you start designing your brewery, educate yourself. Learn about local laws. You should also talk to your contractor to establish the best ways to keep yourself within code. When you know the proper way to do things, you can set yourself up for success from the inception. When you are in business, you should know the best way to clean every night.
Store Items Properly
You have a lot of perishable goods in your brewery, especially if you always serve food. You should make sure you have a large enough cooler and freezer to store everything properly. You also need to make a point to store chemicals properly. You don’t want to put them anyway near food or drink. You also want to ensure that they are stored safely.
People love beer. Despite the pandemic, people are still going to go get a beer at your brewery if you have a good product at a reasonable price in a clean environment. Follow these tips to keep your business as clean as possible.
