Last week Australian Brews News ran an article about a new brewery that included a statement from the brewery owner that the brewery was “supplied by China’s HGM Brewing” and that “HGM has manufactured equipment for the likes of DME and Premier Stainless, who then rebadge it as their own”.

Premier Stainless Systems, a sponsor of Australian Brews News, believes that some readers may have interpreted this to mean HGM manufactures complete brew-houses for Premier and has asked us to clarify. HGM does fabricate tanks for Premier to Premier’s designs and specifications and these blanks are then sent to Premier’s factory in San Diego where all other elements, process piping and controls for the brew-house are constructed and assembled by Premier. Premier does not commission complete brew-houses from HGM.
