After detailed discussion with proBrau about the individual requirements and vision for the new brewery in Northglenn, Prost Brewing decided to get a Kaspar Schulz brew house.

In the decision making the flexibility, energy efficency and the high degree of automation were key factors along with the long tradition of Kaspar Schulz and their high reputation world wide.

The vision of Prost Brewing Co. is to brew the highest quality beers for themselves consistently, but also offer contract brewing for selected partners.
