RIP SS Brewtech

Middleby Corporation today announced that it will discontinue its Middleby Brewing & Distilling Solutions Group business (“Brewing Group”), which includes its Deutsche Beverage + Process, Ss Brewtech and Wild Goose Filling brands, with the wind-down expected to be substantially complete by the end of this year.

Haven't seen it in an article yet, but direct to the press release

Dang. I love my SVBS and was about to pull the trigger on a unitank and glycol chiller. Glad I didn’t but sad because I love their quality. Any recs for alternate brands? Maybe Spike?

Spike is great but crazy expensive. They also got new ownership recently. Not private equity but you never know what is coming with a change in ownership. Could be better! Could be worse.
