So, what does Breww cost?

For the purpose of Breww's price plans, the following all contribute to the production volume:

• Beer you produce in-house for yourself
• Beer you produce in-house for others (e.g. contract brews)
• Beer contract brewed by others on your behalf
• Beer that you package for others (e.g. bottling services)

It should also be noted, that whilst Breww is primarily aimed at breweries (at the moment), other drinks fall into the same structure, such as cider, mead, hard seltzer and wine.

You will need a printer and some labels to use Breww properly. We have a help page which shows what you need to get started. For barcode scanning, you can use our free app for Apple iOS and Android devices (which uses the camera to scan barcodes), or alternatively purchase a traditional barcode scanner if you prefer. We highly recommend the thermal label approach but you can get away with the paper label sheets and a normal paper printer if you're on a tight budget. We don't supply the hardware ourselves so you're free to find the best deal you can online (but our help page has links to suppliers that we've personally had good experiences with if you want to go for the easy route). For the thermal label approach, you're looking at approx £300 for everything you need.

If you go over the limit, you'll automatically be moved up onto the next plan. We only do this when you've exceeded the limit, we never do it on the assumption that you will. For example if you can produce 5,000 hL on your plan and you've produced 4,500 hL by the end of March we won't change your plan at this stage, even though it is likely that will exceed your plan's limit.

When you initially join Breww, your price plan will be based upon your current year's annual production estimate. Each January, a new estimate for the coming year will be required. If this is for more than your price plan allows, you will be automatically moved up to the next plan at this point. Each year, you will be billed based on the higher production volume of this year's estimate and last year's actual.

Breww has import tools for customers, products, stock items, recipes, containers and more, plus step-by-step guides and an onboarding checklist covering what to bring across and when. You don't need to do it all in one go, as the checklist splits it into what can be done ahead of time and what's best left until you go live. Some plans also include 1:1 onboarding sessions during your first month, where we'll answer questions and check you're on the right track. Our help guides cover each import in detail. If you'd rather we moved the data for you, get in touch and we'll quote for a managed migration.

Some plans include an amount of free training and 1:1 onboarding help during your first month. This is guidance and answering your questions as you set up, rather than us moving your data for you. Breww is really intuitive and simple to use so it's rare for breweries to need extra training, but if you need more or are on a plan without training we are always happy to help (this may be charged extra). Training needs to be organised in advance with us at a mutually convenient time. If you need any training, get in touch. Our help guides are worth checking too and are regularly updated.

Support is different to training. Support is included in all but our lowest priced plan and covers things like any issues with Breww, whether they're things that don't seem to be working correctly, or feature requests. Simple requests like "How do I do X?" are covered by our standard support and don't require training to be purchased. Most questions can also be answered by our help guides, so you might never need to contact us.

You can pay for your Breww subscription by credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express & other major card networks). Customers in the United Kingdom can also pay by Bacs Direct Debit. Customers paying in Euros can also pay by SEPA Direct Debit. You can update your payment method at any time from within your account.

All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT. VAT at the prevailing rate in the UK will be added to the total price to pay, if you're based in the UK. If you're VAT registered, you can of course claim this back. If you're based outside of the UK, VAT will not be added to your bill.
