So my wife has noticed that my beer obsession has gone past a hobby and thinks I do a pretty good job. She has mentioned that if I have the passion I should take it to the next level.
Now first off, I am not talking about opening a brew pub tomorrow or anything close to that at this point. I am wondering if anyone has sold beer to local bars or retail stores of any kind and what does it take?
I am looking into bulk bottles and a labeling system but am not finding much with my searches.
At this point, I want to get a few recipes down and make sure I have great beer to have people sample and well... get hooked so they will buy some.
What kind of licenses does it take? Is there a way to start on a super small scale? I don't anticipate making any money on a small scale but just want to get a product out and see what people think. If demand picks up, I will pick up production.
I plan on talking with a couple of local brew pub owners to see what they think but thought I would see if anyone on here has tried something like this.
