Brewery & Distillery
Breweries and distilleries combine industrial process with hospitality and visitor experience - each with very different servicing needs.
COVA designs building services that support production requirements alongside tasting, dining and event spaces.
Craft producers across Tasmania and beyond
The portfolio runs deep in Tasmania's craft sector: Callington Mill Distillery & Restaurant, Furneaux Distillery, King Island Distillery and Overland Brewery & Distillery among them.
Production areas need process services sized to the equipment - heating, cooling, gas, ventilation and trade waste - while cellar doors and restaurants need hospitality-grade comfort. We design both as one coordinated building, including the hazardous-area electrical and fire design that distilling requires.
Feasibility before fitout
Craft producers usually grow in stages, so COVA's early advice covers what the site can support: power and water capacity, waste handling, and the space and services a bigger still or brewhouse would demand later.
Design then follows the producer's actual plans - production first, hospitality alongside - with utilities sized to the schedule rather than a generic allowance.
