A few folks approached me about getting a nano or a micro started up for them. One owns a BBQ joint, the other runs a very successful pizza joint. The pizza place has draft beer, the BBQ place only has bottles.
The thought here is go 3 bbl to start, or really go for it with a 10 or 15bbl system. As a brewer, I know the answer, but how can I convince 2 other guys that a pizza joint & a BBQ restaurant will burn through 3bbls quickly. The BBQ place has 99 seats, and the pizza place is about the same size.
It would be either a very cramped venture next to the BBQ place (30X25), and we would still have to "distribute" to the pizza place. Or we could go off site & one of our wives could open a distro company. The BBQ only serves bottles, but wants to expand to next door & put in a big bar with at least 20 taps. The pizza place has 8 taps, with no macros, but wants to expand.
Opinions? Thoughts? Warnings? I know the answer to the brew house size, anybody have a simple chart or powerpoint? HA!
