Coastal Lifestyle Brewery with Distribution & Strong Growth Potential
Business Description
This turnkey craft brewery is a rare opportunity for a buyer seeking established operations, strong brand positioning, and exceptional growth potential. Designed to balance efficiency with creativity, the facility houses a 10BBL direct-fired brewhouse supported by 90BBLs of fermentation capacity, with infrastructure in place for an additional 60BBLs. Packaging capacity is covered with 35BBLs of bright tank space, ensuring production can scale seamlessly. A robust 7,000 gallon per day reverse osmosis water treatment system delivers consistently clean brewing water for premium beer quality and flexibility to craft a diverse range of beer styles.
The taproom is equally impressive, designed to be both a revenue driver and a brand showcase. Guests enjoy 16 tap handles pouring a rotating selection of beers and hard seltzers, highlighting creativity and consumer engagement. Indoors, the taproom is fully outfitted with audio-visual equipment, turnkey-ready for live music, sports, and private events. Outdoors, 2,250 square feet of patio space transports visitors into a tropical beach-inspired landscape, offering privacy and a memorable atmosphere that encourages repeat business. Combined indoor and outdoor settings make the brewery a natural hub for community gatherings, destination events, and brand-building experiences.
Beyond the four walls, the brewery has built a strong distribution footprint that blends both reach and flexibility. As a self-distributing operation, it maximizes margins and maintains direct relationships with customers. This personal approach enables quick responsiveness to account needs while also building loyalty. The brewery’s beers are already in corporate chains as well as independent grocery and liquor stores, providing a solid retail presence with room for further authorizations. On-premise accounts include independent restaurants and bars, plus placements in corporate hotels and chains offering broader visibility. More than a dozen off-site brands are available, giving buyers a diverse lineup to position across retail and on-premise segments.
The opportunity for growth is substantial. With greater focus on sales and account management, both on- and off-premise categories can expand significantly. The brewery’s production capabilities allow for launching new beer styles to capture emerging markets, while scaling existing brands to deepen regional penetration. Its niche branding approach—connecting with lifestyle choices and offering consumers craft beer without compromise—positions the company to stand out in a crowded industry. These curated brands resonate with today’s consumers who value authenticity, identity, and connection alongside flavor.
The foundation is strong: efficient brewing infrastructure, an attractive destination taproom, an expanding retail footprint, and lifestyle-driven branding that cuts through the market. What makes this brewery unique is the upside. A well-capitalized buyer can accelerate growth by increasing placements, enhancing distribution, or partnering with wholesalers to extend reach far beyond current territory. With capacity already in place to double production, the facility is set for scale without immediate costly upgrades.
This brewery combines the best of both worlds: a fully operational and profitable base with multiple avenues for expansion. Whether through direct sales, expanded distribution, or event-driven revenue streams, the opportunities are numerous and compelling. For an owner ready to invest in growth, this business offers the perfect blend of brand equity, operational readiness, and scalable potential—all set against the backdrop of an inviting taproom that embodies the craft beer lifestyle.
