Stop scrambling when your hop supplier goes dark.
AI-powered supply disruption cascades for craft beverage makers. Get pre-season procurement sequencing that protects your batch schedule.
$brew install BrewRiskIQ/cli && brewriskiq init --brewery Model your entire supplier network in one view.
Connect distributors, cooperatives, and spot markets. BrewRiskIQ scores each supplier's regional exposure to drought, logistics disruption, and consolidation risk.
- Auto-imports supplier manifests via API
- Refreshes scores weekly from USDA and logistics feeds
- Flags concentration risk above your threshold
```python
import brew_risk_iq as briq
# Pull disruption scores for your top 12 suppliers
suppliers = briq.suppliers.list(brewery_id='me')
risky = [s for s in suppliers if s.disruption_score > 0.7]
print(f"{len(risky)} suppliers need backup plans")
```See how one disruption waterfalls through your SKU list.
Model 'what-if' scenarios: what happens if Pacific Northwest hops spike 40% in Q2? Which batches can you still produce? Which ingredients do you secure first?
- Supports hops, malt, yeast, adjuncts, botanicals
- Outputs prioritized procurement list with urgency scores
- Exports to your existing inventory system
```python
scenario = briq.scenario.run(
ingredient='cascade hops',
disruption_type='price_spike',
magnitude=0.4,
quarter='Q2'
)
# Get your procurement recommendations
recs = scenario.procurement_sequence(limit=20)
for r in recs:
print(f"{r.ingredient}: secure {r.quantity} by {r.deadline}")

```Common Questions
How is this different from my distributor's updates?
Distributors tell you what's available today. BrewRiskIQ tells you what won't be available next quarter—and helps you sequence procurement to avoid a last-minute scramble. It's scenario planning, not inventory reporting.
Do I need a data science team to use this?
No. If you can read a spreadsheet of your ingredient suppliers, you can use BrewRiskIQ. The CLI generates plain-language briefs. The API is for teams that want to automate procurement workflows. Either way, no ML expertise required.
How fresh are the disruption signals?
Supplier disruption scores update weekly. Drought and climate risk data pulls from USDA/NWS feeds. Price forecasts refresh with each query. For critical alerts (sudden supplier bankruptcy, recall), you get push notifications within 24 hours of detection.
What if my suppliers aren't in the database?
You can add custom suppliers with manual inputs for region, volume, and risk factors. The cascade modeling still works—it's just less precise without automated data. Most major cooperative and distributor relationships are pre-loaded.
Can I export the procurement list to my ERP?
BrewRiskIQ exports CSV and JSON. Direct integrations with popular inventory platforms are on the roadmap. For now, a CSV import to your existing system takes under 5 minutes.
