Brewing is as much a science as it is an art, requiring precise formulations, innovative processes, and continuous experimentation to craft the perfect brew. For companies in the brewing industry, the R&D Tax Credit offers a powerful opportunity to offset the costs of this innovation, providing immediate funding and long-term tax savings.
Eligible activities include everything from developing new hopping techniques and yeast strains to optimizing fermentation processes and creating improved packaging solutions. These efforts not only enhance product quality but also drive significant financial returns.
Innovate. Ferment. Profit.
As the industry evolves, breweries are increasingly investing in cutting-edge technologies to improve consistency, extend shelf life, and refine flavor profiles. From testing new preservative formulations to implementing advanced quality assurance processes, these innovations are essential for staying competitive in a crowded market.
By leveraging the R&D Tax Credit, breweries can reinvest in their craft, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately bring more creative, high-quality brews to their customers.
01. Case Study
The company set out to create a range of barrel-aged brews, aiming to develop unique flavor profiles that capture the rich, complex notes typically associated with this aging process. To achieve this, they first obtained a Farmer Brewing license and invested in specialized brewing equipment to support the new production methods. After securing the necessary approvals, they developed initial recipe formulations and produced sample batches for testing. Extensive tasting trials followed, allowing them to gather critical feedback, refine the formulations, and retest the brews until the desired taste profiles were achieved.
02. Case Study
The company embarked on a project to create a stronger hops formulation without the harsh bitterness typically associated with high hop concentrations. To achieve this, they implemented a hop back device and made targeted modifications to their fermentation tanks, allowing for better hop exposure during the brewing process.
This approach required a scientific understanding of hop extraction and flavor development, leading the team to conduct extensive testing and process optimization. By integrating these innovations, the company successfully developed a new formulation that met their desired flavor profile, enhancing both the quality and uniqueness of their final product.
03. Case Study
The company launched several innovative projects aimed at enhancing their brewing capabilities, including the development of unique base formulations, improvements to the brew-house, and the creation of a new packaging line. These efforts required a comprehensive redesign of the facility’s electrical layout, the optimization of piping system flow, and the integration of various components into advanced control systems.
To support these formulation changes, the team applied fundamental principles of chemistry to refine their processes, ensuring consistency and quality at every stage. This approach not only improved overall efficiency but also enabled the company to produce a wider variety of products, expanding their market reach and enhancing their competitive edge.
