I'm a big advocate of starting small and then growing gradually if the demand is there. But often I read posts written by people who want to get "into the beer biz" with grand plans, $500k+ in funding plus tons of debt. With all that comes RISK. You don't need $500k to start; you can comfortably open your brewery under $25k, that way you can see if you have what it takes to be successful and to "tune" your beer recipes to your customers' liking. Once you're comfortable with the brewing processes and build a following THEN start thinking about going bigger. Jake www.suburbanbrewing.com Great article!

Most business ventures fail because they try to go from nothing to macro overnight, and business loans are used to pay salaries of the owners. By the way, the sabco headquarters/factory is literally 1/2 a mile from my house. I've been dreaming of owning a brewmagic for some time. This exactly what we have in mind.

Have you done any research into the local BC laws for 'nano' brewing? Who can I distribute to, if I were to undertake such a venture? Sounds great!

The risks are lower and if you make it, in a way the outcome more rewarding. I mean if someone can gather the funds to get a 50 hectoliter system up and running, all the power to them, but these days I just don't see it happening that often.
