Simple Disclaimer: I want to start by making sure it is perfectly clear to everyone that selling homebrewed alcohol without a license is completely illegal whether you sell one glass or one drop. However, it is quite easy to obtain a license. All you have to do is contact your local government offices and fill out some forms. Anyone is allowed to sell their own brew as long as they have a license.
Do you hate your job? Are you having trouble making your house or car payment? Have you brewed a life changing blend and want to share it with the world while getting rich? Every year hundreds of people start their very own home breweries and begin making money by selling their own home brewed beer for any of the aforementioned reasons. Just like them, you can start making an extra couple hundred dollars a month by selling your own brew too!
Just about any monkey can start a brewery, it’s simple. You get the equipment, a recipe, and start brewing. It really is that easy to make your own beer. It is also completely legal for you to make beer without license. You may want to perfect your home brew before you apply for your license; it is completely up to you.
You can buy the equipment needed to begin brewing anywhere on the internet. You can either buy actual brew kits or just the individual pieces yourself. Most of the pieces can be purchased at a local hardware store and can run you anywhere from $20-$100 altogether. I know a hundred dollars may sound high but you can easily recoup the start up costs. For less than a dollar you will be able to make a gallon of brew and sell it for five dollars a glass. Five hundred percent profit is no joke.
I know the list seems daunting but it honestly isn’t as bad as it looks:
Airlock
Boiling Pot
Bottles
Bottle Capper
Bottle Caps
Bottle Brush
Fermenter
Measuring Cup
Siphon
Racking Crane
Bottle Filler
Stirring Paddle
Thermometer
Once you have your start up materials you can begin making your brew. Just look up simple recipes of the type of beer you want to make and modify them however you think will make them better. Add your own personal touch and your beer will start to take a shape of its own that you can call yours.
Once you have some product, you can start selling to virtually anyone. Make a website to sell it through, sell It to friends and family members, go to local bars and liquor stores to see if they will try it out on the market for you, you could even stand on a street corner hawking your beer; do whatever you feel most comfortable doing.
Once you have people buying your brew it will sell itself. The best way to sell anything in today’s world is by word-of-mouth. Business will start coming to you once people begin talking about your brew. Before you know it you’ll have to start a distillery and expand your brewery to outside of your garage. You’ll have to quit your meaningless job to focus you full attention on the beer empire you started off fifty dollars and a whim. There are thousands upon thousands of successful brews in the market today. Why not add your concoction to the list?
