What Austin Craft Beer Brewers Currently Pay

Whether you call it invoice management, a solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most craft beer brewers in Austin stitch together Square, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave plus other subscriptions. That's $684/year in SaaS payments. Across five years at today's prices, the total damage is $3,420.

Why Austin Craft Beer Brewers Switch to Nexa

• Brewing is heavily regulated, so federal and state licensing, excise tax filings, and detailed production and tax records are mandatory, not optional
• Fermentation ties up tanks for weeks, so limited fermenter capacity is the bottleneck that caps how many styles can run at once
• Sanitation failures cause infections that ruin a whole batch, so one missed cleaning step costs weeks of tank time and ingredients
• Distribution runs through three-tier rules and tap accounts, so getting beer onto shelves and lines means managing distributors, kegs, and reorders, not just brewing

Nexa gives you the ability to exit the subscription trap. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one solution. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. No integration tax. It's a lifetime license — keep more revenue the moment you switch. For craft beer brewers in Austin weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.

A Day as a Craft Beer Brewer

Brew day starts hours before mash-in, with sanitation, because in a brewery cleanliness is the difference between a clean beer and an infected tank, and one shortcut can cost weeks. He mills grain, mashes in to hit his target temperatures, runs off the wort, and boils with hop additions timed to the minute for bitterness, flavor, and aroma. He chills the wort fast through the plate chiller to pitch yeast into a clean fermenter, then the waiting starts, because that tank is now committed for weeks and fermenter capacity is the real ceiling on how many beers he can have going at once. Gravity readings with the hydrometer tell him when fermentation is done and whether it hit target. Meanwhile there's the side of the business that isn't brewing: excise tax records, production logs, and licensing paperwork that the TTB and the state require down to the barrel. He kegs finished beer, schedules a mobile canning run, and fields a distributor reorder and a couple of tap accounts wanting kegs. The afternoon is cleaning kegs, tracking which tanks free up when, and logging volumes against the tax records he can't skip. Every batch is weeks of tank time, real ingredient cost, and paperwork, so a contamination or a scheduling miss isn't a small loss.

That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.

Tools Craft Beer Brewers Already Own

• mash tun and brew kettle
• fermenters with temperature control
• hydrometer and refractometer
• kegs and a CO2 keg system
• canning line or mobile canner access
• wort chiller and cleaning/sanitation gear

Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.
