As the Indian alcoholic beverages industry continues to evolve, many brands are exploring efficient ways to bring products to market without building their own manufacturing infrastructure. Brewery manufacturing services give brands access to production infrastructure without the cost and complexity of building their own facility.
CMJ Breweries, a subsidiary of Asgard Alcobev, operates a brewing facility in Byrnihat, Meghalaya, supporting a range of manufacturing requirements for beverage brands. From contract brewing and private label production to packaging and compliance support, businesses can access structured manufacturing capabilities through a single facility.
For emerging brands, distributors, hospitality groups, and established beverage businesses, understanding what these services include simplifies the route from product concept to market.
What Brewery Manufacturing Services Cover
Modern brewery manufacturing involves far more than brewing alone. A complete manufacturing service includes multiple operational functions working together to support production and market readiness.
These services may include:
- Brewing operations
- Packaging support
- Product labelling
- Quality monitoring
- Compliance coordination
- Dispatch planning
These services ensure that products move efficiently through the production cycle while meeting operational and regulatory requirements.
The objective is not simply to produce beverages but to support brands through a structured manufacturing framework.
Contract Brewing Services
Contract brewing has become a widely used model within the beverages industry.
Under this arrangement, a brand partners with an existing brewery to produce products using the brewery’s manufacturing infrastructure and operational systems.
This approach suits:
- Beverage startups
- Hospitality groups
- Regional distributors
- Existing beverage brands
Contract brewing allows businesses to access production capability without investing in their own brewery facility.
Through these services, the facility supports production requirements while brands focus on marketing, sales, and distribution.
Private Label Manufacturing Services
Private label manufacturing provides another route to market for beverage businesses.
Unlike some contract brewing projects that involve greater participation in product specifications, private label manufacturing often offers a more structured production approach through existing manufacturing systems.
This model supports businesses looking to launch products under their own brand identity while using established brewing infrastructure.
Private label manufacturing may include:
- Product development discussions
- Packaging support
- Production planning
- Manufacturing execution
- Operational coordination
For businesses entering the market, private label production offers an efficient route to launching a branded product.
Multi-Brand Production Capability
One of the challenges in brewery operations is managing multiple brands simultaneously while maintaining operational consistency.
Modern breweries address this through production scheduling, process controls, and batch management systems.
The facility supports multi-brand manufacturing through structured operational planning.
This approach helps manage:
- Production schedules
- Batch separation
- Quality monitoring
- Packaging coordination
- Dispatch planning
According to the company, the brewery has supported manufacturing operations associated with brands including Kingfisher, Carlsberg, Tuborg, Simba, Heman 9000, Asia 72, and Golden Eagle.
Managing multiple brands requires careful coordination to maintain consistency across production cycles.

The brewery supports a variety of packaging formats, including:
- 330ml bottles

- 500ml cans
Packaging operations include:
- Filling
- Labelling
- Coding
- Inspection processes
The objective is to ensure products are packaged according to agreed specifications before dispatch.
Packaging systems connect into broader production workflows to support operational efficiency and product traceability.

The brewery operates through structured quality and compliance processes that support manufacturing activities.
