Brouwerij Martinus – Martijn Swiestra
There comes a time, when you, as a brewer, realize it’s no longer just about having fun brewing your own high-quality beers, but that you’re actually running a business. And for serious business brewers, batch inconsistency is a bitch. We felt that if our flagship beers didn’t taste the same every time, we’d lose our loyal customers, and we couldn’t let that happen. Instead of reacting when something went wrong, we wanted to become more proactive in our brewing process. Making sure things don’t happen in the first place, instead of fixing them afterwards. The Beer-o-Meter was just what we needed to get our quality back on track. It let us keep an eye on the important stuff, like alcohol content and fermentation, so we could make quick changes if something was off. The Beer-o-Meter team worked closely with us—they came on-site, trained everyone, and made sure we were comfortable using their product. Having this support during the first few cycles really helped us get everything dialed in. The entire experience boosted morale, and we are all proud of the work we are doing. Also from our costumers we got great feedback. Our flavor profile became much more stable. We feel like we are delivering what is expected, and that we are in control. The Beer-o-meter tool helped our brand grow stronger.
