This is a hypothetical what if type question but could ultimately lead to something. Myself and 3 other friends are throwing around the idea of opening a small scale local Brewpub in our town. In Mississippi, we have very sh*tty alcohol brewpub laws. In fact, you are not allowed to serve beers with over 5% abv. Additionally, a brewpub has to serve food and 25% of sales must come from food. You are not allowed to bottle the beer where it could be removed from premises and the Brewpub cannot distribute, all sales must be on premises. You are also required to sell other beers besides your own. With that being said, Mississippi (sad to say) is a huge BMC state, so while we want to brew our own beer, we know the majority of our sales would come from commercial beer sales and liquor. So here is my question- would a 3 bbl brew system be too small for a brewpub that seats about 100-150 people?
