Greetings from Seattle. I am in the process of developing a new startup here in the Seattle area in 2007. It will be a production brewery with a taproom of about 50-60 seats. Among many questions and comments I will be posting this year, the first is this.
I am developing financial models and do not have all the data to build from for this smaller taproom size. My brewing experience has been in the 100-250 seat brewpub environment and regional production brewing. I am trying to come up with a reasonable estimate/goal of annual over the bar beer quantity in BBLS. I have heard of the 5-10BBL/seat rule but was hoping for a more specific number from someone who is operating at this size. The taproom will most likely be open 7 days per week and operate from 11AM until 10PM. Retail sales will include growlers and kegs. There will be food service and local demand is high for this concept. If there is any other factor you need to qualify your answer to this question, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your support,
Beaux Bowman
Project name TBA soon!
