So You Think You Want to Open a Brewery

I find such attemps are so shallow. "Hey, this brewery thing is popular, everybody is opening one. And I like beer. I should open one myself".

How many people have a genuine passion AND business sense for the stuff, instead of merely going with what other people do and what's considered a hip and trendy thing to do (with some of them even thinking they won't have to do much work to run such a business).

It's like when I see tons people attemting a career in designing skateboarding gear or some such non-industry...

At least due to the startup costs and necessary experience involved, there are many fewer breweries opening than frozen yogurt places. I can't believe the number of frozen yogurt places. And they're still opening. In a mid-sized city with a really long and cold winter. I almost want to go in and ask what the heck they're thinking.

"Hey, this web app thing is popular, everbody is making one. And I like the web. I should make one myself."

Just some perspective.

Yeah, except with beer you have 2-3 orders of magnitude more starting expenses.

Well, that's shallow too.
