I’ve seen a ton of auctions liquidating breweries. As a business, I’d imagine it could be successful venture if you have the right recipe and branding. However, the market is cluttered and has been for seven to ten years. I wonder if the equipment can be repurposed for other use?
I’d just buy it and clean it up and become the second hand brewery supply warehouse. Where I live there’s a brewery on almost every corner. Next year there will be twice as many. I’d skip trying to repurpose it and go into remarketing it. I know where I live the online marketing for auctions sucks ass (and we are a micro tech hub here) so if you can just market your wares to a wider audience you’ll prob make good money.
