This is something I have been researching a lot. I do plan on going pro in the future. I have been brewing for about 2 years now, and am just getting to the point that I am consistent with my "house" beers. My original plan was to be able to sell within the next 2 years, but that may be extended. Money is a huge factor even on the nano level. I just can't afford the equipment costs and location leasing right now. Here in CA, we don't have the three tier system, so thats a non issue. And for whatever reason, finding a good brewery/brewpub name seems to be one of the hardest parts for me. I have close to 200 names jotted down and still nothing seems to be standing out. Once I do though, I have friends in graphic design waiting to make logos for labels and shirts. The I can get my business license and start selling shirts/hats/etc AND be able to write off equipment/ingredient costs.
