  • Brewpub Specs

    What would be the smallest Sq footage be to operate with a 5 barrel system with the footprint upstairs,and everything else downstairs.

    That's a loaded question boss...The search button works great too! I would start by visiting successful 5 bbl (I assume you mean brewpub with a system that small) pub that has roughly the same style/tempora your business plan designates. How many turns, how many tables, average ticket based on menu and beer cost, etc... Lots of stuff to think about here.

      Here's a ballpark number

      Ballpark number from www.soundbrew.com

      Average pub brewery plant with in-house sales only=.06-1.0 SF/BBL/Year (not including restaurant)
      Minimum brewpub size requirements: 3,000 square feet in retail area with ample parking and/or high foot traffic


      Not being an expert in brewpubs, but based on threads in the past, a 5 bbl system will not affect you spacewise that much vs. a 7-10 bbl system.

      Bueller?

        I love when equipment brokers throw out those numbers.

        I set-up my first brewery, a brew pub, in 350 s.f. 15 bbl. brewhouse, hot/cold liquor tanks, 3-15 bbl. uni's. My filter, serving tanks, chiller, kegging wer all done on a lower level.

        My second brewery, also a brew pub, 380 s.f.; 15 bbl. brewhouse, 3-15 bbl. uni's. 2-7 bbl. uni's.

        If you put some (okay alot) of thought into the flow of your process, you can build a very efficient operation into a small space.
        Cheers & I'm out!
