Case Study: New Belgium Brewing Company achieves IT site independence and 50% productivity increase with Flexential

Craft brewery plans to ensure business expansion succeeds with the right IT strategy

New Belgium, a leading U.S. craft brewery, opened a second brewery in Asheville, NC and needed an IT strategy to ensure each site could run independently and avoid business‑halting outages tied to its Colorado operations. The company sought a partner to deliver reliable, secure infrastructure on a tight timeline so the new location could brew, package and ship without disrupting overall operations.

Flexential provided colocation and a customized hybrid IT solution, working closely with New Belgium to design, test and tune the deployment. The result was independent mission‑critical operations at both sites with 100% uptime, 24x7 support, a 50% productivity increase and significantly reduced risk from single‑site outages.
