I know this is a tough one! But working on some numbers and want to see if anyone can give me some insight on the industry average to calculate the cost to produce a keg, so that I can then figure margins. I know style of brew with ingredients can greatly vary the cost.
I am defining the product cost for a keg using the following:
-Ingredients
-Utilities (electricity, propane, water, CO2)
-Brewing & Sanitizing labor
-State & Fed Tax
-Keg (rental + collars + initial/final transportation)
I am not factoring in fixed costs in product cost such as rent, insurance, wages for marketing or admin staff, etc. Does that calculation seem correct to most of you out there? Should I be factoring in cold storage cost as part of my product cost?
What is an industry average production cost for say a 1/2 bbl of a standard lager or standard pale ale? And I mean the average for a start up brewery.
THANKS!
