Short answer: enough.Long answer: depends on packaging, style, distribution costs, turnaround, operating costs, cost of goods sold, labor, etcetcetc. There's not much money in most bbls of beer, but multiply say, $50x5000.There's a number of breweries cranking out beer in that range or less that have been around for awhile. Many grow out of it when possible. You rarely see breweries putting out 6packs in that production area as the money Is not necessarily there.Some possible costs: $72 grain ($.8/lbx90lbs for mix of good specialty and quality base including transport)$20 hops ($10/lb at 2lb/bbl. This is highly variable)$5 yeast (assume a brewer this size is paying around $200/batch, divide by 10bbl and by four for repitching)$10 misc (cleaning materials, nutrient, clarifiers, etc)That puts you at $107/bbl. This isn't the craziest example, but it can be done cheaper (less expensive grain and hops, less ingredients overall) but it can also go up (add barrels, more grain or hops, not reusing yeast, etc). This also fails to account for any of the other costs which can vary wildly, nor bottling/kegging costs which also are significant and highly variable.I think it's a safe bet that your 'other' costs for each barrel won't be less than $20 unless you're very fortunate and hard working, so let's say $40/bbl at the low end.
That brings the total to $150/bbl.Keg or bottle? Keg costs can range from $5-$25+ depending on style, age, turnaround, procedure, loss/theft, etc.Bottling costs vary wildly, but surely not less than $.75 for some mediocre bottle and label, plus packaging. And there's labor associated with both.So, for kegs tack on $10 each (2/bbl). Add $10 more (labor, sanitation, etc). $85/keg.Bottles: assume a 10% loss, so 160btl/bbl (22oz). 160btl x.75/btl = $120. Add the $10 (above).
$1.75/btl.This is for a pretty straightforward, say Amber or Pale -esque brew. Add in some gravity, higher hop rates or expensive hops, better bottles or labeling, corks and cages, wax, barrels, etc, and it starts going way up.Kegs:Distribution: tack on 20-35%+. Your keg is now $110.End profit: Tough to move a keg in this style for over $125, so let's multiply the $15x2 for $30/bbl.Bottles:Distribution say you sell this to a distributor for $3/btl. Distributor markup makes it $3.90/btlRetail: Average mark-up is 40% (highly variable). Now at $5.46/btl.End profit ($3-1.75) $1.25/btl. Times 160btl/bbl equals $202/bbl.Again, conservative on a lot of the costs.
Assuming these numbers and two thirds draft, the total at 5000bbl would bring it to around $130k per year. So, back to the short answer: enough.Unless there's a few owners or you suck at management. Lots of high level assumption here, but just strictly someone walks in to the tap room and says, 'I want a 1/2BBl keg' using your price.Assume 10,000 Sq. Ft and 3,000BBLCosts:Materials (Including Utilities) per keg = $35Rent (10,000sq ft. $3 sq.ft.

/ 6,000 Kegs) = $5Staffing ($420,000 / 6,000 Kegs) = $70Taxes: (Fed: $7/BBl, State = $3.00/BBL) $5TOTAL COST: $115Price: $150Profit: $35 (23%)Or what Oregone said: Enough, sometimes, depending on a ton of externalities that are tough to control if you're not careful. This is an extremely vague question (kind of like asking how much money can you make selling hamburgers? Well it depends on the ingredients and price point.) but it does point out how difficult it really is to be an extremely small craft brewery and earn a living, let alone generate any profit. When I see people trying to open a 1/2 BBL brewery I just shake my head because unless you have next to no costs and can sell away all of your beer at a decent price in the taproom you're going to have a hard time just paying off the brewery equipment, which means you're brewing nonstop on top of working a full time job elsewhere (as is usually the case with these incredibly small breweries).
Click to expand.Can't it be a middle ground? I certainly wouldn't ask a particular brewmaster or owner what they're pulling in per bbl. But I also personally don't see an issue with wondering if these guys are making money, and if so, does anybody have some realistic numbers.I believe that it's common knowledge that nobody is getting rich in the industry (even the Rue's had to buy their jet second hand), but asking those with some experience about possible margins shouldn't offend anyone.See, I can agree with both of you!PS: I don't actually believe that the Bruery owns a jet. Unless it's invisible. And they bought it from super heroes.Your society dollars are still not going to jet fuel. Invisible or not.
Click to expand.Your logic escapes me. Calling it not proper is bizarre. Asking what a company makes selling their goods is a pretty innocent question regardless of his motives. Industry folks have chimed in and tried to answer his question so as of yet he hasn't offended anyone with any more severity than he might by putting his elbows on the supper table.OP, when I used to sell 1/6 barrels of homebrew to locals that wanted them for parties they were throwing I used to make between 15-20 bucks.
Now you know my dirty little secret. Your logic escapes me. Calling it not proper is bizarre.

Now you know my dirty little secret. Click to expand.Yeah, that's pretty much the standard.
The things you tend to see in 6pks for $7-8 (Deschutes, Full Sail, Widmer, etc) are at the lower end of the range, and the 'premium priced' breweries like Stone, Rogue, DFH, etc, tend to be on the high end. Some of the self-distributed breweries are a bit less expensive than the average, but they generally don't undercut anyone by much. Breweries like Hop Valley or Barley Browns know what the bars are paying for stuff like Mirror Pond or Total Domination, and if they're making comparable beer there's no real reason to undercut them and deprive yourself of profits.Disclaimer: Familiar breweries were used in this post simply for the sake of being relate-able examples.
Nothing in my post is intended to portray the actions, intentions, or business practices of any specific brewery. (hopefully that saves me from the lawyers)edit: before anyone accuses me of releasing sensitive info, I just wanted to point out that one of the in the state offers dock sales, and their prices on that page are within a buck or two of the wholesale price that bars pay. As you can see, most of the things they offer are around $150. They also don't mention it on that page, but the things in the $130 range are actually 50ltr kegs (13.2 gallon) rather than full size (15.5 gallon) 1/2bbls. Your logic escapes me. Calling it not proper is bizarre.

Now you know my dirty little secret. Click to expand. Idk maybe I’m wrong.but I thought this was Beeradvocate.not what's P/L of the microbrew biz. As someone posted there is a better place for industry insight.
I don’t ever think it's proper to ask what someone makes $$. And insiders giving answers are probably fewer than those that would disclose this info.again, maybe I’m wrong.I’m just glad they are taking the risks and brewing for us.and growing up around my house you got your ass beat for putting elbows on the table.cheers. An addition to my earlier post: While Im not going to post any more current numbers I may have had some access to, I can say that the business atmosphere for the nanos has changed. I think it is possible for the under 1k guys to make enough to be 'profitable' at some level now. Probably not enough to cash flow a bigger brewery, but much better than those numbers I posted earlier would suggest.That link to probrewer is pessimistic in 2013. At least a little.
Probably still sound advice though.
Ah, Bring It On. Everyone's favorite cheer-off was as seminal a part of the year 2000 as the fear that the Millennium Bug would cause an international computer crash and society as we knew it would crumble. But part of the film's immense charm wasn't just its right-on cheerleading (ho, ho) for not plagiarizing other people's work, checking your privilege, celebrating female friendship, and not being sh.tty about things that are intrinsically feminine, like cheerleading. One major part of the film's charm was Jesse Bradford, who played weird, sweet, supportive, Torrance's end-of-pic beau.If you think New Girl played it slow with Nick and Jess, then you should see Bring It On. Talk about your slow burn romances. With all the sexually-charged teeth-brushing going on in the flick, it was a serious relief when Torrance finally ditches her doofus-y, unfaithful college age boyfriend Aaron to get with someone more her own age and pace.
This said, Cliff was pretty Brooklyn-esque for a dude who was supposed to be living in the suburbs of California. Given that sweetly crooked smile, we'll let him off tiny character development inconsistencies. Here's why Cliff from Bring It On is always and five-ever boyfriend goals. He And His Sister Were Legitimately Good Friends.
The scene: it's 2000, so obviously you're rocking a tomato-red paisley print bandana. You look great, you tell yourself.

Not in any way like a peasant-farmer from the 19th century. You look fly and like a Britney Spears backing dancer. Posterity will prove this not to have been the case, but your other half Cliff will have smiled at you with a cynical mouth and eyes that were full of adoration, so maybe it wasn't so bad?It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Torrance would go on to (spoiler!) lose first place at the cheer competition, but win the heart of a guy with eyebrows like handsome caterpillars. No wonder she didn't seem all that depressed at the end of the movie.Images: Universal Pictures (4); (5); Ditto Greetings.
