What’s Brewwing? – Feb ’26

It’s been another busy few weeks at Breww.

This round of updates focuses on the parts of brewery life where detail really matters — approvals, packaging checks, handovers and planning. The kind of things that don’t always shout the loudest, but make a real difference when you’re juggling production, sales and everything in between.

Here’s what’s new...

Production, packaging and approvals

Transfer approvals
If you move bulk beer between vessels or sites, you’ll know how easy it is for checks to become informal when things get busy.

You can now configure approvals around transfers, both before and after they take place. That means you can decide exactly when checks should happen and who signs them off.

It doesn’t change your workflow. It just makes it clearer and easier to trace back if you ever need to.

You’ll also see new “Transfers” and “Brewing” tabs on the production dashboard, so those actions are easier to find without digging around.

Packaging approvals, expanded
Pre-packaging approvals now clearly sit before packaging begins. You can also configure post-packaging approvals, which are ideal for QC checks once everything’s packaged and ready to go.

Approvals can be set up once per batch or once per planned packaging.

If you package multiple batches in a single day, the planned packaging option can be far more practical.

You can also use different approval templates depending on container type. So checks for canning can differ from those for kegging, if they need to.

There’s now a dedicated “Packaging” tab on the production dashboard too, giving a clearer overview of what’s planned today and what’s coming up next.

A clearer production dashboard
The production dashboard has been reorganised into clearer tabs.

If you operate across multiple sites, each site now has its own full-page dashboard, accessible from the main menu. Related actions such as packaging and transfers are filtered automatically to the site you’re viewing.

In practice, that means less scrolling and less second-guessing which site you’re looking at.

Notes on the batch schedule
You can now add notes directly to the batch schedule. Things like maintenance days, open days, audits or anything else that might affect production.

They don’t block batches from being scheduled. They simply sit there as context while you’re planning, so important dates aren’t missed when the calendar fills up.

Packaging and product setup

Smallpack packaging formats
If you regularly create multipacks, you’ll know the repetition involved in assigning the same boxes or components to each product.

Smallpack packaging formats allow you to define those components once for a specific container type and pack size combination. Breww will then automatically apply them to matching products.

It removes a repetitive step and reduces the chance of something being forgotten when creating new products.

Streamlined product creation
Setting up a new drink often means creating multiple sellable formats at the same time.

The creation process has been redesigned to make that quicker and more straightforward. You can now set up kegs and packs of cans or bottles in one flow, along with pricing, tags and other key details.

For guest beers, supplier details can also be added during this process. It’s a simpler way to launch new products without jumping between screens.

Sales and team continuity

Sales visits in your main task list
Sales visits can now generate tasks in your main task list, if you choose to enable it.

That means visits, follow-ups and other tasks sit in one place, rather than split across different views.

Bulk transfer of tasks and assignments
When someone leaves the business or changes role, handovers can be messy.

You can now bulk transfer task assignments and customer-salesperson assignments from one user to another.

Instead of manually reassigning everything, responsibilities can be moved across in one go, helping make transitions smoother and reducing the risk of anything being missed.

Navigation improvements

Customise the main menu
You can now add custom links to the top and bottom of the main menu.

If there are areas of Breww you regularly use, you can create shortcuts and save yourself a few clicks each time. Small improvement. Useful over time.

Duty and compliance

Australian alcohol excise duty
For breweries operating in Australia, the previous “Australian beer” duty option has been expanded and renamed to “Australian alcohol.”

There’s now a duty sub-type setting on each drink type, allowing Breww to determine the correct tariff automatically for your excise duty report depending on whether the drink is a beer, spirit, brandy or other beverage.

Existing Australian beer drink types have been moved across automatically.

If you currently use the “Self-managed duty” option for drink types that fall into one of these categories, our support team can help move them over.
