As the waters get more crowded, we'll be going back to the classic 1860's model of a brewery in every town. We aren't even close to the amount of breweries we once had in the States, over 4400, with the local share of beer sales over 50%.
Keep it simple, keep it small, do it well. Know your market. If you run a good business you can grow. Think one market at a time. Town, county, state region, state, country region, country. Plan. Plan. Plan. Don't over invest in a pipe dream, but look up at your ceiling (literally and figuratively and think- where are the 50 and 100BBL tanks gonna go if this happens? Or, have an exit plan, either way, growth can be costly.
Also, get to know your fans, especially during this craft beer week. They're the only reason you're brewing, and not pumping gas, or some other profession more up to date with the world we live in
