It’s otherwise known as a brewery. Previous knowledge of Egyptian brewers was that someone in the neighbourhood would be good at it and brew it round the back of someone’s house. It would be used as causal refreshment and the good stuff would be held back until the slave drivers had knocked off for the evening. Of course, some were better at it than others which is where trade would come in handy. If a brewer needed a camel or a sacrificial goat then he could trade his beer with a farmer to obtain it. These new reports seem to suggest that the brewery was owned by the kings. But the idea of a beer factory is something along the lines of a single company acting in defiance of Pharaoh. And a pyramid would be a great place to hide one. I wonder if they had taxes and had to pay duty?
