Realize that most of the people selling stuff failed with their breweries.
Here's the thing that I can't get over: a lot of people come to this board and eventually ask about starting a brewery. None of them seem to have a great amount of business knowledge when it comes to running a start-up, and everyone assumes that their beer will be profitable.
Now, not to be insulting to anyone, but homebrew has a reputation as being terrible, and it's because a lot of homebrew is really bad. But, like our children, WE love it despite its faults.
Here's something I never see:
"Hey guys, I have a recipe that's a real hit. It's won gold in 10 major national competitions and I'm at the point where I can flawlessly replicate it time and time again. I can brew 100 gallons for about $0.60 in ingredients per pint. It's not something standard like and IPA, so it's not going to be a threat to many pro brewers flagship products. How do I sell this to a professional brewery and protect my recipe so that I can eventually brew this on my own?"
You know why I never see that? Because people with killer recipes - ones that have credentials behind it like an NHBC gold medal - are on the radar of pro breweries. You think Jim Koch doesn't know the name Jamil Zanishwhosyermama? Or Charlie Papazian?
We all have good recipes, but if you want to make it in the pros you need to either have an insane amount of excess capital and luck or an outstanding resume. For every Ben and Jerry out there, there are a billion stoners who make great ice cream. For every Sam Cagalioni, there's a million guys with a bag of fruit and odd hops.
Join your chamber of commerce and see if there's a need for a brewpub in your neighborhood. In a developing area, they might actually have a request out there for someone to open one and offer incentives and tax breaks. Get some money together and put together a business plan. Find businesspeople in your area and try to pitch your plan to them to see if they'll invest with you. Make sure you have your financials in place. Attend an investors workshop where you can make your pitch to VC's, Angels, etc. Have samples ready to hand out at all times and make sure you have an award attached to them so you can talk it up.
The last thing you want to do is put all of your own money into a brewery and then see it fail and have to lose house and home. Hire a business manager who knows how to run this type of establishment. Hire a FOH and BOH manager to make sure you get the restaurant / bar properly set up and staffed. Prepare for the best and the worse: what if you're at full capacity every day? Will you have enough beer and food on hand? What if no one shows up?
In short, you need to know how to run a business, not just brew 5 gallon batches in your garage.
