Lots of good advice hear already but I thought I throw in my 2 cents. I have a friend who is also working on opening a brewery.
There three fairly distinct skill sets needed to start and run a successful brewery:
> I can brew beer like no one else
I'm assuming you've been brewing beer for your friends. Start charging for your beer. This way you'll learn several things:
All of the above can be done with very little cost. If you're able to sell your beer, that's the first step to funding your brewery.
Create a business plan. This will do two things for you. Nail down and prioritize what you need to do, and show investors/lenders how well you've thought out your business. Start with a simple One Page Business Plan. Include cost, profit margin, etc when you get them.
Analyze your market. Is there a reason why there are only 2 breweries in your city?
Read up on what you need to do to sell to beer emporiums. A good place to start is contacting your local government. This part can be very frustrating and time consuming. You'll probably have to make a dozen calls to talk to the right person to get the right information.
You can also start by selling to local bars and restaurants. Make sure you have the branding in place before talking to them. Again, you have to find out what's the law and regulation in your locality in order to do this. The business owners may be able to help with this. Remember, business owners don't know how big of an outfit you are. Figure out how you want to sell yourself. You have only a few minutes for your sells pitch before they brush you off so nail down your spiel. It could be a good idea to bring some beer samples. Start with a smaller bar/restaurant for practice.
Good Luck and please update this thread.
