Quote from: majorvices on June 07, 2015, 08:32:43 amIf you are going to start a brewery you need to understand that if you want to make any money you have to have a lot of volume. If you don't produce and sell a lot of beer you won't be making any money and you will be sustaining a hobby not a business.This reminds me of a quote from one of Jamil's podcasts:"Remember, you aren't in the beer making business, you are in the beer selling business."That line really struck a chord with me.

Also how do you expect to be successful at it if you want to do it only part time?

You have to be either in or out. Or you have to be willing to pay someone to be all the way in. You can not run a successful brewery on the side in your spare time (if by "successful you mean "profitable".)

If I was 31 and coming into a hundred grand to invest, I would invest it in the stock market.
