Howdy,
I looked around and couldn't find any talk of this, so here it goes.
I am in a unique position in my brewery. I have extra capacity that I would like to see used. A new restaurant in a nearby town has contacted me about brewing them a special "house" brand of beer. I have seen this done before (Fox and Hound has a beer brewed for their chain by ABInbev).
I was wondering if anybody out there in probrewer-land has any experience with this and if anybody knows of any pluses or minuses I do not for-see and should look out for.
The set up:
I am a brewpub but they are in a town that I rarely directly compete with for sales.
I plan on selling them the whole batch at once, but I can not self distribute. We will have to go through a distributer.
They are new and plan on carrying many of my other beers.
Cooperage is not a problem.
Questions/Concerns.
Do people in my position give them a price break since they are buying the whole batch or charge more for the specialty brand.
Anybody know of any problems with this set up that I am not seeing?
Cheers!
