How to start a craft brewery?

You and your friends enjoying a great beer at your favorite craft brewery: why not turn your love of great beer into a career and start your own brewery?

If you're serious - and not just buzzed - understand that it takes a lot of planning, money and patience to make this dream a reality. Starting a small business is difficult enough, and breweries are highly capital-intensive businesses that require additional legal and licensing requirements.

But with sober planning, creative financing and tenacity, here are some tips to help you get started.

Know the costs, location and business goals before opening your own brewery.

Your brewery will need basic equipment: kettles, kegs, boilers, bottling and canning lines, conveyors, cooling systems, storage tanks, fermenters, filters and beer labelers, pipes and ducts, refrigeration equipment, cleaning equipment, waste disposal systems, and tap handles.

While you can get the cheapest equipment at a reasonable price, if you purchase smaller capacity equipment and your brewery proves to be successful, you may run into problems because the system is difficult and costly to modify, so it is recommended that you take a more conservative approach when setting your budget.


How much will the equipment cost?

What you pay for brewing equipment ultimately depends on the size of the brewery and whether you are buying new or used equipment. If you buy used, you can purchase the smallest capacity brewing equipment (1 keg, or 31 gallons of beer, equals 320 12-ounce bottles of beer) for $100,000 or less

Location and Construction

Of course, your brewery also needs a home. The monthly rent depends greatly on your location and the size of your building. When you sign your lease, you may need to provide your landlord with the first month's rent and a security deposit. And you may also need to do work on the building to make it suitable for a brewery.
