So, I have a question for all you experienced brewers out there:
Nearly every brewery has a flagship beer, the one which they sell and produce in high quantities, whether it be a full fledged brewery, a pubhouse, a microbrewery, etc...
My question though, is could it be possible to, instead of brewing one type of beer in massive quantities, to produce tons of different types of beer in super small quantities (i.e., sell 50 different types of beer made in 5 gal batches, rather than making 2 different kinds in massive bbl batches). I know there's the whole economies of scale argument, but you could still buy the hops, yeast, etc... in bulk couldn't you?
