Hi,
We are planning a Microbrewery Start Up in Latvia, Eastern Europe.
This area still provides an excellent growth potential for beer consumption for the next 5 - 7 years and is in need for consistent high quality and variety (niche) beers.
As our studies show, we would like to establish a brewery, which would initially be able to brew one (1) million litres of beer per year (most in April-October).
So far I have received different advise on brewery size necessary for this project. We plan an increase from 1 to 1,5/2 million litres per year in 2 -3 years. This volume would qualify for realistic initial 2% of the market.
Is 50 bbl size brewery appropriate? What amount of investment this require? Your advise and comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
