I want to open a microbrewery... need help
 

Hi there,



Anyone here familiar with brewing beer, and/or marketing the product?



I'm looking around various internet sites and I haven't found much info on actually marketing the product and approaching people. What I want to know is, how exactly you get a product onto shelves? What are the steps? Who has to approve you?


Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm at a loss for ideas. Any suggestions before I just goto the local brew pub and ask to speak to the owner / operator?

Why do you want to open a microbrewery?

I like beer, I like marketing, and I think beer is something that I could easily sell.


I have a few ideas that tie into pop culture and I think it would fucking FLY off the shelves.

i always get a kick out of people that want to start businesses in a field that is so overflooded.....and businesses that do start up go out of business in less than a year

plus, why are you asking a adult webmaster forum?
why not start here: http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...q=home+brewing

Galleries are very overflooded and I somehow manage to do well enough to make it one of my large sources of income :)


It takes someone with a different approach to something everyone else does to make a profit. I'd like to do fairy pops ( ciders, coolers, etc ) as well and market to the ladies. I'm sure locally I could make a killing with the ideas I have.

Are you willing to invest at least $100,000 to make your dream a reality?

First step is you have to grow up cause at your age - Mommy & Daddy have to approve you!
