Brewery & Distillery Equipment Repair in South Florida
Glycol chillers, kegerators, cold rooms, taproom refrigeration — dispensing and cold-side service.
Why breweries and distilleries owners call Berne
We're a cold-side service partner for breweries and distilleries — glycol chillers feeding fermenters, walk-in cold storage for kegs and packaging, kegerator and tap-tower dispense, and the taproom kitchen if there is one. We don't certify pressure vessels or do brewery-specific process work (jacketed fermenter weld, CIP loop validation, pressure-relief recert) — that's a brewery engineering scope. We're the people you call when the glycol chiller drops 10°F overnight or the taproom kegerator stops cooling on a Friday at 4pm.
Eleven years operating across South Florida, 18 technicians on the road, 29,000+ services completed, and a 4.79-star average on 871 reviews. We're licensed and insured (DBA Berne Appliance Repair), EPA-certified for refrigerant work, and NDA-friendly for the verticals that need it.

Service area
We dispatch across all three South Florida counties for breweries and distilleries: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Most emergencies receive same-day response from Miami Beach to Boca Raton.
Why same-day matters for breweries and distilleries
Taproom equipment failure during a Friday rush is a sales-floor emergency. We treat brewery taproom calls as same-day priority on weekends, especially for tap-tower foaming, kegerator failure and bar ice machine outages. The fermentation side (glycol loop temp drift, walk-in keg cooler) gets fast turnaround but is usually a tomorrow-morning ticket unless production is at risk.
Brewery owners and head brewers often run premium beverage refrigeration at home (Sub-Zero wine columns, Marvel beverage centers) — Berne's premium residential team handles those installations.
