Streamlining Your Brewery: Lessons from Lawson’s Finest Liquids

Streamlining Your Brewery: Lessons from Lawson’s Finest Liquids

Breweries are under pressure—tight margins, unpredictable production, and old ways of managing inventory, compliance, and procurement that just aren’t cutting it anymore. In this session, we’ll explore how mid-sized breweries can reclaim efficiency and stay competitive using smarter systems, without needing an enterprise IT team.


You’ll hear from Lawson’s Finest Liquids, a regional brewery navigating this transformation firsthand, alongside their technology partners. Together, we’ll break down how integrated solutions have driven automated compliance, smarter purchasing, and greater operational efficiency—while delivering measurable ROI.


Through a panel discussion grounded in real brewery experiences, we will spotlight three high-impact areas where smarter tools are turning friction points into competitive advantages:


  1. Automating and backing up TTB and state excise reporting with live data
  2. Leveraging Material Requirements Planning (MRP) to improve purchasing decisions and reduce waste
  3. Building a business case for moving off QuickBooks and other standalone solutions into more robust, scalable systems


Whether you’re trying to reduce reporting errors, tighten up inventory, or free up your team’s time, this session delivers practical strategies and actionable steps for brewing smarter without overwhelming your budget.


This conversation features:

  • Alyssa Sorrentino (Lawson’s Finest Liquids)
  • Anthony Shibata (Wipfli LLP)
  • Dane Koepke (Wipfli LLP)
  • Fiona Gray (Lawson’s Finest Liquids)
  • Randy Smith (Vicinity Software)
