What's Brewwing? - Jan'26

It’s been another busy few weeks at Breww, with a set of updates focused on improving how more complex parts of the platform work day to day.

This month includes several new features and major improvements, particularly around guest beers, reporting, and multi-currency support, alongside a new report to help with duty planning ahead of the next duty year.

Here’s a round-up of what’s new.

Guest beers

Guest beers now behave like your own products
Guest beers now support full batch tracking and container types, bringing them in line with how your own packaged products behave across production, stock and reporting.

To create a guest beer, set up the beer via Production → Beers → New beer → Guest beer, then create products as normal. Breww automatically creates a linked stock item for purchasing, where you can add supplier details, re-order quantities and other purchasing information.

When this stock item is receipted, Breww automatically generates product stock with batch and expiry tracking, just as if the beer had been packaged in-house.

As a result, you can now:

• Rack from containers using guest beers

• Include guest beers in auto-assembly for mixed packs and multi-packs

• Specify duty responsibility per product (defaulting to not your responsibility)

• Include guest beers in reporting broken down by container type

The “Guest beer” product type has been removed as part of this change. Existing guest beer products are now standard product types (Keg, Cask, Smallpack, etc.) with a flag identifying them as guest beers. All existing price book rules and BrewwQL filters have been updated automatically.

If you previously set up guest beers using the older method, you can optionally migrate your existing stock items to take advantage of these improvements.

Reporting

Reporting improvements added to the Raw Data Explorer
We’ve added a set of new capabilities to the Raw Data Explorer to make it more useful for working with data directly in Breww.

The following features are now available:

• Group by support, allowing results to be grouped by selected fields

• Aggregation mode, with calculations such as sum, average, min, max and count

• Sortable results within Breww, without exporting

These improvements are designed to reduce the need to export data for basic analysis and make it easier to explore and sense-check information directly in the platform.

For more detail on how these features work, see the Raw Data Explorer help guide.

Purchasing and sales

Multi-currency support for purchasing and sales
Breww now includes new multi-currency support for both purchasing and sales.

This allows breweries to work with suppliers and customers in different currencies, while keeping reporting consistent within Breww. Setup and behaviour details, including how currencies are handled in reporting, are available in the help documentation.

Duty and planning

Duty rate change difference by product report
Ahead of the next duty year, we’ve added a new report to help compare current duty costs with the new rates effective from 1 February 2026.

Once you’ve entered your latest annual production totals, the Duty rate change difference by product report shows how much duty you’re currently paying, alongside what you’ll pay under the new rates.

You can find this report under Beer duty → View (or Spirits duty → View, where applicable).

Sales reporting

New report: total sales by customer by product by price book
A new pre-built report shows total sales broken down by customer, product and price book, giving another way to review sales performance across customers and pricing structures.
