I get this question a lot, and I guess that is what everyone thinks of first is a brew pub. They sound cool and its a romantic idea. All your beers on tap, good food and your friends coming in all the time. I'll admit, it is a great idea.
However, that is not what I am interested in opening at this point. I have done the restaurant thing, and it is a lot of fun and hard work. Right now, I am just interested in a small brewery. I really enjoy brewing and want to do that, but I am not interested in the extra work of a brew pub. I don't want to deal with menus, and lots of employees. Plus brew pubs are much more risk, and higher start up costs.
I want to start something that is bigger than a nano brewery (200 gallons a year), but nothing huge to start with. Really this is just a hobby and something I want to be able to do on the side for now. My plan is to still brew on the weekends (just in larger quantities) and sell locally. If I can expand from there, great! If not, then Bexley will have some great local beer.
