Combi & Pub Style Brewhouses

Professional Brewing Power in a Space-Saving Footprint

Opening a brewpub, restaurant, or urban taproom often means making the most out of limited square footage. The Combi and Pub Style Brewhouses from CraftMaster Stainless are specifically engineered to deliver the uncompromising performance of a full-scale commercial brewery within a highly compact, visually stunning footprint.

By intelligently stacking essential brewing vessels—such as a Mash/Lauter Tun situated directly above a Hot Liquor Tank (HLT) or Whirlpool—we help you drastically reduce your equipment footprint. This allows you to dedicate less square footage to your back-of-house operations and more space to your revenue-generating taproom and seating areas, all without sacrificing brew day efficiency or control.

If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact our expert team.

Designed for the Brewpub Environment

Our combi systems are built with the unique needs of a busy restaurant, pub, or nano-brewery in mind:

• Ultra-Compact Footprint: By utilizing vertical space through a stacked vessel design, a combi brewhouse can easily fit into tight corners, narrow rooms, or basements where a traditional linear 3-vessel system simply wouldn't fit.

• Front-of-House Aesthetics: In a brewpub, your equipment is part of the ambiance. Our beautifully polished, heavy-duty 304 stainless steel systems serve as a gorgeous visual centerpiece to attract and engage your customers.

• Ergonomic & Efficient Workflow: Designed for single-operator efficiency. Our pub systems come skid-mounted with centralized manifolds, variable speed pumps, and an integrated brewer's platform, keeping every valve and control within arm’s reach.

• Flexible Heating Options: Because space and building codes in commercial restaurant spaces can be tricky, our combi brewhouses are available in Electric, Direct Fire, or Steam heating configurations to match your facility's utility capabilities.
