What this episode covers

Host Chris Luecke moderates a Q&A with Steve Grundy (Top 5 Solutions), Connor McDonald (McRae Integration), Stephen Rich (Cowbell Brewing), and Nicholas Chan (Iconic Project Group, ex-Molson Coors) on smart manufacturing in brewing. The panel discusses the critical role of people and process over technology, the impact of COVID-19 on digital transformation, and the tension between traditional purity laws in Germany and modern automation. They highlight that while large breweries like Molson Coors are highly automated, the industry remains conservative, with adoption driven by competitive pressure and sustainability goals rather than just tech for tech's sake.
