Can someone smarter than me explain how this can make enough money to stay open?

Alcohol, beer especially, is a volume business. But cant wait to try it.

by FAR the most profitable way to sell beer as a brewery is direct to the customer on draft.

A brewery can make almost 4 times as much money selling a keg draft directly as opposed to selling through a distributor.

If they make good beer and word gets out, they will have no problems making enough money to stay open.

They keep 100% of the $$ from what they brew and sell....minus taxes of course. A normal brewery that distributes only gets a small percentage of the $5 or $6 you pay at a bar.

Wish I could.

I am going to assume that they are paying minimal rent. I am also going to assume they are renovating their space to make it visually appealing for a "beer tasting room", and at the volume they intend to produce it seems that it would take foorreevver to see a ROI especially if they are taking on debt to accomplish these objectives.

I can appreciate the start small approach, but I'm just not seeing this having a viable going concern with the current model.

I am curious/interested in seeing this rollout and will definitely visit.
