BREWERY & DISTILLERY EQUIPMENT
Brewery equipment financing and leasing
Brewing is a capital business run on tight margins, and almost every brewery hits the same wall: demand is there and the tanks are not. We finance brewhouses, fermenters, brite tanks, canning lines, glycol and taproom build-outs — new equipment, used tanks from a closed brewery, or a full expansion.
What we finance
New or used, from any vendor, dealer or auction. Named manufacturers are examples of what this covers, not a limit — if what you need is not on this list, ask.
- Brewhouses from 2 to 30 bbl, steam or direct fire — ABE, Deutsche Beverage, Premier Stainless
- Mash tuns, lauter tuns, kettles and whirlpools
- Fermenters, unitanks and brite tanks from 15 to 120 bbl
- Glycol chillers, cold liquor tanks and glycol loops
- Canning lines — Wild Goose WGC Series, Codi Manufacturing, American Canning
- Bottling lines, keg washers and keg fillers — Premier, Twin Monkeys
- Centrifuges and crossflow filtration — GEA, Della Toffola, Pall
- Malt mills, grain handling, grist cases and silos
- CO2 and nitrogen systems, N2 generators and walk-in coolers
- Taproom build-out — draft systems, glycol lines, bar equipment, tables and POS
Why lease it
01
Add tanks before you lose the sales
A brewery that cannot ferment fast enough is turning down orders it already has. Financing fermenters against demand you can already prove is the cheapest expansion there is.
02
Cans without the capital raise
A canning line is often the single biggest check a small brewery writes. Leasing it turns that into a monthly number the distribution volume can carry.
03
Used tanks finance too
Tanks from a closed brewery are the best value in the industry and they finance the same way new stainless does, including freight and rigging on the same lease.

Brewery equipment financing questions
Can you finance a canning line for a small brewery?
Yes. Canning lines including Wild Goose, Codi and American Canning systems are financed on their own or with the depalletizer, seamer, labeler and conveyors as one package, which is how most small breweries get into cans.
Do you finance used brewery tanks?
Yes. Used fermenters, brite tanks and whole brewhouses from closed breweries and dealers are financed regularly, and the freight and rigging to get them installed can go on the same lease.
Is there financing for a brewery that has not opened yet?
Yes, this is a common request. A pre-opening brewery is financed on the owners' experience, the lease on the building, the business plan and a down payment, so it is worth applying rather than assuming a startup cannot be funded.
Can taproom build-out be included with the brewing equipment?
Yes. Draft systems, glycol lines, walk-in coolers, bar equipment, furniture and the point of sale can be written into the same lease as the brewhouse and tanks.
