What does Solon Consulting do?

At Solon Consulting, we leverage over 20 years of craft brewing experience to provide comprehensive solutions that help beverage businesses thrive. Our hands-on approach combines practical knowledge with technical expertise to deliver measurable results for clients of all sizes.

Our Approach

Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of your current operations, challenges, and goals. We then develop customized solutions that address your specific needs, whether you're planning your first brewery or expanding an established operation.
