1. What is a microbrewery?
A microbrewery is defined as producing less than 15,000 barrels of beer per year and on the condition that 75% or more of the beer be sold elsewhere. Limited, usually only sold in one area or adjacent area, and not expanded to the whole country, the sales model of microbrewery is the following way, firstly the traditional three-tier system: from brewer to beer wholesaler to retailer and finally to Consumers, then a two-tier system: brewers as wholesalers, from retailers to consumers, and finally, brewers can sell directly to consumers through takeout, bars, restaurants. Originally the term microbrewery was used to describe a small brewery, but now it stands for flexibility, creativity, sustainability, and uniqueness in ingredients, craftsmanship, style, taste, marketing.
2. What is a nanobrewery?
A nanobrewery is the smallest unit in a brewery. It is defined as brewing 3 barrels or less of beer per batch. Some states give him a definition of less than 2,000 barrels per year, and some states are 5,000 barrels. For The definition of nano brewery is not so uniform, so you just need to know that he is the smallest type of brewery, because of his small size, he has more creativity and room to create than the large breweries, so as to constantly innovate new The unique flavor, which is also the unique advantage of nano breweries.
3. How should I choose my type of brewery
First of all, you should know what channels you have to sell the beer you produce, and you need to estimate your beer sales. This requires an approximate number to determine how big a brewery you will eventually build, otherwise you will find beer after building a brewery. If you can’t sell it at all, it will cause a lot of losses. If the beer you produce is very popular and the beer is in short supply, you can add additional beer brewing equipment, so for beginners, the initial decision is very important.
