So you want to go pro?

@troy2000 Well said. Made in America does not just mean the beer. It also means small business people. Yes, it is hard to make a go of business today, but the spirit has to remain. Anyone that wants to be a brewer, my hat is off to you. It is better to try and fail or succeed than to sit back and regret.

Translation if america were a free-market opening a brewery would be within the reach of many more people.
Good write-up.

As an addition to the resource options for wannbe brewers, I offer this link from a local nanobrewer near me. His little book is not much of a detailed how-to guide to prospective Auggie Buschs but it does provide a feel for how this guy does it.

@MVKTR2 I did it at 25, with money raised via Kickstarter. But yeah, it's the government stopping you.
These costs are pretty inflated, but mostly I agree with this post.
