Demand grew quickly, and Core expanded again by adding ten more 40-barrel fermentation vessels and five more 40-barrel brite tanks. Recently, Core has added 3 x 120 BBL Fermentors and 1 x 120 brite. Core Brewing understands that its consumers expect high-quality product and is committed to exceeding its consumers’ expectations.
