Here’s some interesting tank news. ABS Commercial, the full-service brewery outfitter, just announced a new partnership with Quality Tank Solutions (QTS) to provide even more brewing equipment for independent breweries across America. This move strengthens ABS Commercial’s position as a go-to resource for both new and used equipment while giving brewers access to American-made, stainless-steel tanks and systems. Let’s take a look at both of these equipment experts, but first a quote from the press release:
“As the brewing industry evolves, so must we,” said Kristie Nystedt, CEO of ABS Commercial. “This expansion in our equipment procurement offerings allows us to better serve our customers, whether they need custom-built new tanks, high-quality used equipment, or a combination of both. Our goal is to provide brewers with the best solutions for their unique operations while maintaining the same level of expertise and support they have come to expect from ABS Commercial.”
Who is ABS Commercial?
Like you don’t know. Since 2012, ABS Commercial has been a partner for craft breweries, offering custom brewhouses, fermenters, small parts and way more. Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a secondary sales office in Denver, the company provides brewing solutions tailored to each customer’s needs. The company manufactures brewing equipment with a partner in China, but the company is now expanding procurement options to offer even more opportunities and solutions. While the company continues to manufacture brewing systems overseas, it is now expanding its procurement strategy to include American-made stainless-steel tanks through QTS. Beyond equipment sales, ABS Commercial offers something most suppliers don’t: real brewing experience. The company receives direct feedback from its sister company, Raleigh Brewing Co., which operates a 20-bbl brewhouse within the same building. This hands-on approach allows ABS to continuously refine and improve its equipment offerings.

ABS Commercial’s Blog: A great resource for brewers
This is a little off topic, but while we’re here. Beyond selling equipment, ABS Commercial is also a valuable educational resource. I love the ABS Commercial Blog, which provides cool insights into the brewing industry, covering everything from equipment selection to brewery growth strategies.
Some recent blog highlights include:
