The article explores modern technological approaches in craft beer production, as well as trends in its development in Ukraine and worldwide. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of fermentation processes, raw material selection, the use of non-traditional yeast strains, automation of technological processes, and microbiological control. An overview of equipment used in craft brewing is provided, including fermenters, brewhouses, temperature control systems, and filtration units. Particular attention is given to common challenges faced by small breweries: batch-to-batch quality inconsistency, microbiological risks, beer oxidation, over-carbonation, and flavor imbalance. The importance of implementing quality standards, technological control, and adherence to sanitary regulations is substantiated.
The study summarizes the findings of both domestic and international research highlighting innovative approaches such as the use of metabolomics, alternative ingredients, energy-efficient equipment, and locally sourced agri-food products. A comparative analysis of the development of craft brewing by region in 2015 and 2024 demonstrates significant growth in the number of breweries in Europe, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region. Examples of leading breweries from around the world and Ukraine are presented, along with descriptions of their characteristics, stylistic preferences, and innovations.
It is concluded that craft brewing is a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing production, consumption culture, science, economy, and ecology. In particular, the potential of craft beer as a niche product with high added value is revealed. The development of the sector requires the integration of technological innovations, scientific support, legislative recognition, and a favorable environment for small producers. This article will be useful for brewing industry professionals, technologists, researchers, and all those interested in the development of the craft beer industry in Ukraine and beyond.

In June 1994 the 2nd International Scientific and Technical Conference "Application of vibrations for technological purposes" was organized on the basis of Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute. Leading experts in this field, noting the significant contribution to the school of Vibration Engineering under the leadership of P. S. Bernyk, proposed to create a professional all-Ukrainian scientific and technical journal "Vibration in engineering and technology..The journal was foundedat Vinnytsia State Agricultural Institute and P.S. Bernyk was elected to be the chief editor .
For all these years (since 1994) theJournal "vibration in engineering and technology" published 94 issues wherestudy of vibration effects, the creation of progressive energy saving technologies and equipment for their implementation were highlighted.
Currently Kaletnik H.M PhD , professor, academician NAAS is the chief editor of the "Vibrations in engineering and Technology"
The journal "Vibration in Engineering and technology", which has no analogues on the territory of Ukraine, is well known abroad.
