1500L craft brewery is considered a microbrewery, with the capacity to supply local supermarkets, restaurants, bars, pubs. It presents an ideal choice for investors who want to expand their business scale but do not want to over-invest. A 2- or 3-vessel brewhouse is recommended for cost-effective and space-saving operations. Additionally, a complete 4-vessel brewhouse is available for those seeking a precise process and flexible brew batch. Multiple fermentation tanks can be matched according to brewing and sales plans, which are suitable for producing craft beer types.
The majority of sales are generated by local city sales, with a significant portion of revenue generated from the sale of cans, bottles and kegs. It is advisable to select a store location in an area with a high population density, high consumption levels, and a large demand.
