Craft Brewery and Tasting Room | FTB-110

This independent craft brewery and tasting room is located in a high-density mixed commercial and residential neighborhood in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. A 7-beer barrel production facility (800-1000 beer barrel annual capacity) offers exceptional craft beers brewed on-site for retail and wholesale sales channels. The 49-seat tasting room serves as a community space for eating, drinking, playing games, and hosting events.

Revenue increased in 2020 with the introduction of a new canning system that allowed for the sale of 4-pack and 6-packs to-go. This multi-headed approach attracts individuals and families living in the neighborhood, as well as beer tourists from all over. Whether dropping by solo, taking the dog for a walk, or strolling with the baby, customers enjoy a selection of 15 craft beers and hard seltzers on tap, light snacks, special events, and conversation with friends.

The business has a detailed operations manual and software systems that help ensure smooth operations. The business also has over 100 proven proprietary beer recipes produced in their brewhouse and a new packaging system that offers canned beer for takeaway. Currently, the business does no marketing, relying on social media and word-of-mouth growth, and their 60% returning customers.

The craft beer market is a rapidly growing industry, with growth of over 300% since 2005 and a compound annual growth rate of around 8% anticipated between 2021 and 2026. Growth opportunities exist through implementing an active marketing and advertising campaign, increasing self-distribution, opening a second tasting room, expanding food vendors, and increasing the hosting of public and private events. Seller financing is offered for qualified buyers, and though the owners are planning to move out of the Bay Area, they are willing to train the new owner for a period of up to three months following the closing, included in the price.

This is an established business. This is not a new franchise or start-up opportunity.
