  • Fair Fees for a Brewery Consultant?

    Might anyone have any ideas regarding what a fair fee or arrangement would be for a consultant working to get a group of non-brewers up and running with their own brewery? Either with or without continued involvement once the brewery us up and running? The consultant may be called upon for help with marketing as well as technical advice.

    Thanks.

        Think about the value of the consultant's contribution (obviously). Is that advice/activity worth more than your plumber? Your architect? Your electrician? Feel free to PM me. I'm not available at the moment for the forseeable future but would be happy to discuss. Have spent about twenty years in brewery consulting.

            Build out fees Vs. Consulting fees

            What kind of project, and State/City are you in?
            There are are multiple levels of Consulting to address.
            1: Equipment Suppliers fee for installation, excluding tenant improvements.
            2: Brewery Consultant, not affiliated with the Equipment manufacturer.
            3: Brewery Consultant working with Local Contractor.

            1:Fees are highest working with Manufacturer. around 125.00/hr USD plus lodging.
            2:Brewery consultant with tenant improvement equipment, $85.00/hr.
            3:Brewery Consultant directing local contractors, $36.00 - 45.00/hr plus lodging.

            Some States mandate that all construction be done by a licensed local contractor for the various parts of the brewery. Electrical, Plumbing, Refrigeration, Etc.
            If you are in the States of California and Nevada, you can hire a consultant to do all your brewery build outs under a licensed contractor. If this is the case and the consultant can work a jackhammer, front loader, concrete forming, plumbing and wire a brewery so it is operational and to city, county codes, this is the best choice.

            Good luck in your search.

                Chicken or the egg

                If I've done some brewing for others, do you think it makes more sense to try to doing consulting first to see what's out there or try to jump into my own operation. I guess my ultimate goal is to own a brewery but I don't want to prematurely start off half cocked without having enough experience.
