G&D Chillers at the Craft Brewers Conference 2026 (CBC)

March 27, 2026

Supporting Breweries with Industry‑Leading Glycol Chillers, Fermentation Cooling & Production Expansion

The craft beer community continues to evolve, innovate, and grow - and G&D Chillers is excited to return to the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) to connect with brewers, cellar teams, brewery owners, and production managers from across the country.

For more than 30 years, G&D has been a trusted partner for breweries of all sizes, from startup microbreweries to large‑scale regional production facilities. Our chillers continue to set industry standards for glycol cooling, fermentation control, and reliable cold‑side operations.

Why Cooling Is the Heart of the Brewery

Cold‑side control directly impacts the quality, clarity, and flavor profile of every beer. With the explosive growth of craft brewing, reliable cooling performance is even more essential during:

  • Wort cooling
  • Fermentation temperature control
  • Crash cooling & conditioning
  • Brite tank operation
  • Lagering
  • Cold storage & packaging

Brewers rely on G&D because our glycol chillers deliver:

  • Extremely stable temperatures
  • Industry‑leading efficiency
  • Quiet, reliable operation
  • Built‑to-last engineering
  • Easy service and maintenance
  • Modular scaling as breweries expand

What G&D Is Showcasing at CBC

  • Brewer‑built glycol chillers with full redundancy options
  • Modular expansion systems for fast‑growing breweries
  • Energy‑efficient compressors & smart controls
  • High ambient & high‑performance chillers for challenging environments
  • Industry-proven systems trusted by thousands of breweries
