Editorial Review: Product Description: A practical how-to guide for those interested in entering the craft beer business as a pub brewer, micro brewer, contract brewer or distributor. Includes financial and regulatory information, success stories from those already in the business and a clear description of each business type. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Short on substanceI found this book high on generalities and low on specifics. If you are a person with a lot of commercial brewing experience but little business acumen, you will probably like this book. If, on the other hand, you are (like me) a person with good business acumen, know how to brew beer at home and are just looking for some solid specific numbers on costs, equipment, etc. to help with planning, do not buy this book. It reminds me of a Monty Python sketch I heard years ago where a radio show audience ...

Some of them are decent, some are totally "in the weeds" with details that don't really matter in the "thinking about it" stage. The main value lies in it's ability to give you a reality check: Do I really want to do this? Rating: - ok...There is some useful information here, but it is mostly a collection of magazine articles written by various authors. This is not worth the $80 listed retail or even the $50 at amazon. The book not being written by a single author lacks a flow between sections. The sections dealing with financing and startup are nice, but I would like some more in depth information on various types of equipment available. If you can find this book for 20-25 that might be a more worthwhile price. And ...

But that's just it, for what it was supposed to be 'The Brewers Association's Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery' (think about it, that's a lot of weight in that title) it was only OK. There was some nice insight from brewing professionals whose opinions I already respect, there was some rough ideas of what to expect, and some sections with great detail about things I couldn't care ... Read More Rating:  - Not RecommendedI had high hopes for this book, but ultimately am left greatly disappointed. First, I agree with the previous reviewer - this book has more typos and grammatical errors than any book I've ever read! It's really unacceptable in any book, but certainly when the book retails for $80. Second, this isn't a step-by-step guide to starting a brewing business. It's a hodgepodge of articles from old issues of The New Brewer magazine combined with random interviews and new writings from ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
