If you’re considering going pro, or are in the process of starting a new brewery, you probably know that it takes more than heart to succeed. To avoid common missteps and costly detours, you need a guide—a mentor who has a proven record of success and who can clearly articulate the do’s and don’ts of starting a craft brewery.
And you can’t do much better in the mentor department than with Dick Cantwell, former owner of Elysian Brewing Company and author of The Brewers Association’s Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery.
Drawing on Cantwell’s lengthy experience, The Brewers Association’s Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery details how to start a successful brewpub or packaging brewery.
The book addresses ingredients, financing, business plans, quality assurance, distribution, wastewater, sustainability practices and more, for prospective brewpub and packaging brewery owners alike. The Brewers Association’s Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery is truly an indispensable resource for those who are bold enough to chart their own course.
“I am certain any aspiring commercial brewery in the planning phase—or small brewery looking to grow—will find useful lessons in every chapter Dick has written,” says Sam Calagione, founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. “This book is written from a true brewer’s perspective.”
