Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Beer30 is brewery management software from The 5th Ingredient for teams managing operations from production through sales and distribution. Its scope includes raw-material and finished-goods inventory, recipe formulation, brew logs, batch histories, fermentation curves, production scheduling, tank visibility, task management, CIP logging, compliance reporting, traceability, sales orders, deliveries, keg fleets, demand planning, and batch cost analysis. Web, iOS, and Android access support breweries across small, mid-market, and enterprise settings.
According to the vendor’s published plans, Beer30 Lite costs $30 per month and includes production and inventory management, fermentation tracking, production scheduling, and marketplace access. The full Beer30 product is modular and quote-based, with broader capabilities covering sales, distribution, costing, planning, and reporting. A free sandbox trial is offered through a demo request. Buyers should distinguish the clearly priced Lite plan from the expanded full product when evaluating budget and scope.
Beer30 fits breweries that want one system spanning brewing operations and commercial workflows rather than a tool limited to recipe or batch records. Integrations with QuickBooks Online, Square POS, Shopify, GoTab, and Oracle NetSuite help connect finance, point of sale, commerce, and enterprise resource planning. Its cloud and mobile deployment, real-time dashboards, end-to-end traceability, and compliance tools add operational breadth. Smaller breweries wanting only core production functions may find Beer30 Lite more appropriate, while teams needing broader modules should clarify the quote-based full configuration and rely on the listed chat support channel.
