Beer Additions & Changes SOP

Procedure#:HP SOP 70

Function: Management Policies

Implementation Date:121522

Policy: Hillman Beer’s strives to provide a wide variety of beer styles to its guests while still providing a high level of quality.  It is important that with each beer addition or change a set of standards is followed so each beer addition or change is rolled out flawlessly. To maintain this commitment, it is essential for our team to continually refine our beer brewing techniques and tips. Regular training sessions will be held to ensure that all staff members are well-versed in the latest methods and innovations in the brewing process. This dedication to quality not only enhances our product offerings but also enriches the overall experience for our guests. To ensure consistency and excellence, all staff members are trained on the Wednesday brewer’s truck procedures, which outline the steps for receiving and storing new beer offerings. This systematic approach helps maintain our commitment to quality and allows our guests to enjoy fresh and innovative brews. Regular reviews of our processes also guarantee that any necessary adjustments are made swiftly and efficiently.
