Craft Brewery and Taproom
A Research Triangle craft brewery and restaurant across two sites, licensed as brewery and winery with a full liquor bar and an immersive themed dining concept.
Business Highlights
- Licensed as both a brewery and a winery, with a full liquor bar
- Two locations: a brewpub with event space and a secondary taphouse
- Two associated properties valued at $4.8M and $2.5M
- In-house production of beer, cider and hard seltzer
- Immersive themed dining experience with strong local brand recognition
- Has reached profitability after years of investment
Considerations / Questions to Ask
- Profitability is recent after a long investment period. What changed, and is it durable?
- How are the two properties treated in the deal, and does the business service that value?
- Roughly fifty staff across two sites. What is the management structure below the owner?
- How does revenue split between food, taproom and packaged production?
- What licensing applies to brewery, winery and full liquor, and how does each transfer in North Carolina?
Opportunities
- Brewery and winery licences with a full bar is a combination most competitors cannot match
- Event space is already built and is the highest-margin use of a brewpub
- Cider and hard seltzer production diversifies beyond a crowded craft beer category
- Distribution beyond the two sites uses production capacity that already exists
