What Bespoke Brewing Solutions does

Bespoke Brewing Solutions is a commercial brewing equipment manufacturer and consultancy headquartered in Hong Kong, with operational oversight based in Zhuhai, China, and regional sales offices in Austin, Texas, and Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 2015 by John Gonzales — an American who entered the brewing equipment industry in China in 2007 — the company designs, manufactures, and installs custom brewery systems ranging from 250L brewpub setups to 2,400L production facilities for craft beer customers globally. Equipment is fabricated primarily from SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steel to US, Canadian, and Australian standards, with in-house 2D/3D CAD design and a proprietary brewery scope calculator used during the consultative sales process. The product portfolio covers the full brewing value chain: grain mills, grist cases, flex augers, brewhouses (2-vessel and 3-vessel, with electric/direct-fire/steam heating), cylindroconical fermentation vessels, brite beer tanks, liquor tanks, CIP carts, mobile pumps, hop cannons, kegs, and supporting componentry.

Revenue is generated through a direct, consultative sales model with quote-based pricing. Streams include one-time equipment sales, professional design and consultation services, on-site installation supervision and commissioning, and shipping logistics coordinated from Ex-Works Ningbo. Lead times are 75 days for full systems and 45 days for tank-only orders. The go-to-market is sales-led with no resellers or intermediaries; the team engages prospects from initial inquiry through custom quote, layout design, manufacturing, shipping, and installation. Primary customer segments are craft breweries (startups through mid-market) and brewpubs that require integrated brewing operations with both functional and aesthetic fit, supplemented by occasional enterprise engagements (e.g., AB InBev-owned Goose Island Putian and Hand & Malt/Oriental Brewery). The company operates a wholly-owned sister brand, Cosmo Packaging Systems, for keg washing and filling equipment, and in 2025 announced the upcoming launch of Bespoke Distilling Solutions under the broader Bespoke Solutions Global umbrella.
