We can sell YOUR craft brewery, too!
Sorry this took so long. The dust has settled and I can say with confidence that this deal has exceeded our expectations on all fronts. We found the right buyer with the right terms in a very short amount of time. Your service was attentive and proactive throughout the process. This experience was as close to perfect as possible. There were a couple hiccups but as I said, at the end of the day we got a deal that we’re proud of and happy with. I’ll also add that it was really impressive that this was all done without anyone finding out about our sale before the close date. That was probably the most common question I got from peers – “How did you find the buyer without anyone knowing you were up for sale?”. This is quite an impressive feat of alchemy!
If you have any prospective clients looking to talk to someone who has used your service, I would be more than happy to share my experience, which was very positive.
John Holler, President, Holler Brewing
The craft brewery offers award-winning beers in a relaxing, spacious environment. The American beer lover craves variety and novel beer experiences, and this brewery has the distinct advantage of offering an exclusive experience that both beer lovers and non-beer lovers seek. Their customers are primarily local patrons looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind experience.
The brewery equipment was manufactured by one of the top producers in the brewery industry. Current lead time for this equipment is approximately 12-18 months. The equipment was designed to provide maximum versatility. The brewhouse and every tank were designed for space and flexibility, taking advantage of the brewhouse layout. The business has plenty of additional production and capacity that a new owner could utilize.
Although the industry is very competitive, the business has superior beer, excellent customer service and a destination venue with many growth opportunities. The business also has excellent books & records and is recession-resistant. The brewery is operating at about 60% capacity, allowing substantial growth with little to no incremental investment. There are many opportunities to increase sales and profits. Annual capacity can be increased by adding fermentation tanks, varying production methods, beer selection and production scheduling. As this craft brewer continues to grow its loyal fanbase, there is an IMMEDIATE opportunity to further expand sales and distribution through the Houston region.
Employees: The business operates with well-trained, satisfied, motivated employees, plus a part-time owner overseeing the business. Employees enjoy working at the brewery and handle 95% of the business operations. The owner believes that all managers, brewers and staff are willing to stay.
Facilities: The business occupies a long-term leased space, leased at $6500/mo including NNN.
Competition: The craft beer industry is very competitive. The business attracts customers from the local neighborhood and major metro areas in Houston, Texas. Though the greater Houston area has over 70 breweries and brewpubs, this brewery is regularly mentioned as one of Houston’s best breweries. Despite the presence of competitors, the business has quickly developed a loyal following and has substantial growth opportunities.
Growth & Expansion: Beer is sold primarily via a) on-site sales (taproom and “To Go”) and b) off-site account sales. The brewery operates at approximately 60% capacity. There is plenty of existing capacity that can be sold at high margin. A new, energetic owner can further increase sales & profits in many ways: 1) Increase outside sales, 2) Increase production and distribution, 3) Expand tap room and open hours, 4) Add food or kitchen.
