The Brewery Boom Isn’t Slowing Down; Here’s Why Steel Is the Backbone of Every New Facility

When planning your brewery, the construction method you choose isn’t just a detail—it’s a decision that shapes how quickly you open your doors and how effectively your space supports operations for years to come.

That’s why more brewers are choosing pre-engineered steel buildings. Affordable, adaptable, and built to handle the unique demands of brewing facilities, Armstrong Steel’s prefabricated metal building kits are helping breweries of all sizes create spaces where craft meets precision.

• Built for Breweries. Designed for Growth

There’s a misconception that pre-engineered steel buildings are only suitable for warehouses or storage. They’re an ideal solution for breweries, offering significant savings and unmatched flexibility.

• Lower Construction Costs

Steel construction can reduce building expenses by up to 30% compared to wood or masonry, giving you more budget to invest in brewing equipment, taprooms, and operations.

Breweries also face unique challenges—moisture, temperature fluctuations, and complex plumbing systems. Traditional materials often require costly reinforcement to handle these factors. Steel, by contrast, is naturally suited for these environments. It offers a durable shell that stands up to humidity and internal conditions without breaking your budget.

• Get Brewing Sooner with Faster Construction

Every day spent waiting for your building means one more day you’re not brewing or serving customers. Armstrong Steel’s pre-engineered metal building kits are designed for speed.

Here’s how we help you get up and run faster:

• Pre-cut, pre-drilled, and numbered components streamline assembly.
• Pre-welded clips and bolt-together connections reduce onsite labor.
• Detailed erection guides help contractors move efficiently from delivery to completion.

Many of our brewery clients have their buildings up in weeks instead of months—keeping their momentum and ensuring they don’t miss market opportunities.

• Space to Grow. Freedom to Design

Breweries demand open, flexible spaces for equipment, storage, tasting rooms, and future growth. Armstrong Steel’s clear-span designs eliminate interior columns, creating wide-open layouts that support smooth workflows and allow for creative, functional design.

Our buildings can span 100 feet or more without interior support, giving you the freedom to:

• Arrange large fermenters and brewing tanks efficiently
• Design taprooms with welcoming, open atmospheres
• Expand your production area without structural hurdles

And when is it time to grow? Modular framing makes adding square footage simple and cost-effective.

• Style That Matches Your Brand

A brewery is more than a workspace—it’s a reflection of your brand. Armstrong Steel buildings give you the structural strength of steel without sacrificing aesthetics.

With exterior options like stucco, brick, or wood accents, and compatibility with conventional finishes such as shingles or CMU, your brewery won’t look like an industrial warehouse. Instead, it will showcase the character and charm your customers expect.

Whether you’re envisioning a rustic taproom, a sleek production space, or a combination of both, Armstrong Steel provides the framework to bring your vision to life.

• Built Tough for Demanding Environments – Breweries operate in challenging conditions, with constant exposure to moisture, steam, and temperature variations. Armstrong Steel buildings are engineered to thrive in these environments:
• Corrosion resistance with Galvalume® roof coatings for long-lasting performance
• Non-combustible materials for enhanced fire protection
• Structural integrity that handles heavy snow, high winds, and even seismic activity

Unlike wood, steel won’t warp, rot, or attract mold. It’s a durable investment designed to protect your operation for decades.

• Confidence Backed by Industry-Leading Warranties

At Armstrong Steel, we stand behind every building we deliver. Our warranties give you peace of mind that your investment is secure:

• 50-year structural warranty for unmatched confidence in durability
• 35-year rust-through roof warranty for added protection in demanding brewery environments
• 40-year paint warranty to preserve your building’s look for decades

These warranties reflect the quality of our materials and our commitment to your success.

• Energy Efficiency That Pays Off

Running a brewery requires significant energy for climate control and production. Armstrong Steel buildings help keep costs manageable with thoughtful added design features:

• Insulated wall and roof panels to maintain consistent indoor temperatures
• Interlocking seams for superior weathertightness
• Cool roof technology that reflects sunlight and reduces heat gain

These features reduce HVAC loads, lower utility bills, and support sustainability—an increasingly important value for both customers and regulatory agencies.
