Westbrooks Brewery in Essex County, UK, is now brewing on their new Deutsche 45 hL production brewhouse.
Westbrooks has a unique mission: bringing low-carb, low-calorie, gluten-free, and sugar-free beer options to the UK with a direct-to-consumer model. Richard and the Westbrook’s team came into the project with a clear business model, a focused beer portfolio, and most importantly, a strong conviction in delivering their worldclass product to their country. Deutsche’s job was to help turn that dream into reality. This started by working together to design an efficient production environment, optimizing the project in every phase. From brewhouse design and tank layout, from automation, utilities coordination, and commissioning, to the ongoing support that comes with running a production facility, this project was about more than just delivering equipment. It was about building the right partnership to make good on Westbrook’s vision.
When a customer is building something new, responsive project management and practical brewing experience make all the difference. Richard understood this and knew that building a production brewery requires the right technical partners. As a business owner, he knew he did not need to personally know every detail of the equipment installation, utilities, controls, wiring, and startup. But he did know he needed a partner he could depend on to help guide the process and stay with him through the details. When Westbrooks started canning with a Wild Goose Gosling in 2024, moving into an Evolution series canning line, and now brewing on a complete Deutsche brewhouse and cellar, The Middleby Brewing & Distilling Solutions Group has proven time and again to be just that partner.
Congratulations to Richard and the entire Westbrooks Brewery team, we’re proud to be part of their story and excited to see where this next chapter takes them. Get you some!
