Case Study: Frost Beer Works streamlines brewery operations with Knack

Frost Beer Works streamlines operations with Knack for 7,400 barrels a year

Frost Beer Works, a brewery based in Hinesburg, Vermont, faced the challenge of managing overwhelming and scattered operational data. With details from production schedules to quality control readings trapped in various systems and chaotic spreadsheets, founder Garin Frost needed a singular, simple solution to store and synthesize all this critical information to maintain his brewery's high quality standards.

The brewery implemented Knack, a no-code platform, to build a custom application. They started with basic batch tracking and iteratively added functionality for scheduling, inventory, and automated data capture from sensors and equipment. This solution provided a centralized data interface, resulting in highly efficient operations for their five-person team. The measurable impact includes the production of over 7,400 barrels annually with consistent quality, reduced manual data entry, and less stress for the staff. Knack enabled the lean team to achieve a comprehensive, data-driven operation.
