Workshop
Contract Brewing & Alternating Proprietorships
Many Nano breweries are happy to stay put with their existing brewing system, but see opportunities to sell their beer well beyond their taprooms. Besides expanding your own physical brewery, there are several options to consider that other small craft breweries are using to increase their brewing volumes while not investing in a larger brewhouse. One avenue is contract brewing your recipes with a larger brewery that has existing capacity. The other is an alternating proprietorship so that you share the resources of a larger brewhouse with other craft brewers. The Craft Beer Attorney Candace Moon will walk you through how contract brewing and alternating proprietorship are set up as well as the pros and cons of each so that you can carefully consider your options as you look to cost-effectively expand your reach.
