Did you know that you can own Microbrewery for the price of a route, franchise, or small business

If you are searching for the right business to buy, then please consider buying a brewery package from Total Beverage instead of an existing route, franchise, or small business. You’re usually buying someone else problems! Total Beverage can create a microbrewery or a brewpub for you for the same money as you would spend on an existing route, franchise, or small business and your brewery package is clean and absent of any of the previous owners’ issues.

One main difference is with an existing route, franchise, or small business your 12-hour minimum day that might start at 3:30 am and includes working weekends and having to cover sick and vacation days and employee shifts on holidays. Routes, franchises, or small businesses usually require you to stay late and, in many cases, working weekends and having to cover sick and vacation days and employee shifts on holidays.


Buying an all-inclusive brewery package in most cases can eliminate many of the concerns of a route, franchise, or small business, because of the support offered by The Total Beverage Companies and their team of 50+ experts, specialists, professionals, and solution-based people and groups.

What is the total beverage buying experience?

Total Beverage tailors the solutions it offers and sells and makes certain the experience is fast, efficient, simplified, and executed in a professional and timely manner. The company’s purpose is to offer and provide microbrewery and brewery solutions created and customized for company owned and third-party clients looking to purchase their own property or, in many cases existing food and beverage customers looking to enlarge their beverage industry footprint and volume. We are currently actively seeking savvy and knowledgeable businesspersons or certified, accredited, sophisticated purchasers to buy a brewery package from Total Beverage as a third-party business or join Total Beverage as an equity partner in one of our brewery projects.

For the third-party purchaser for their own property, we offer several equipment packages and options to the potential purchaser. Depending on what package is purchased, we will determine what products and services will be provided to the purchaser. All our packages quoted on the Total Beverage website are for 5 BBL single batching brewery equipment systems and do NOT include any packaging options. One of the options is to order smaller or larger brewery systems, and of course, the pricing and packages will differ. Our basic equipment package is the “Bronze” package, which will offer the brewery equipment, installation, and training for $189,995.00 and can be operational, depending on the brewery site or property and where the equipment is manufactured within 180 days (+/-).

 

The two remaining equipment packages are part of our “Concierge Suite”. For our third-party purchasers who want a complete turnkey, end to end solution for the brewery that might include decorating themes, entertainment packages or necessary operational suppliers, dealers, contractors, and providers we offer two packages. To those third-party purchasers wanting to do the work themselves, we offer access to our network of solution professionals and professional companies by providing the references, contact information, data and/or numbers to the purchaser to arrange for whatever additional options, or solution from our meu that they want themselves. We call that the “Silver” package and the access to our one-stop shop network costs an additional $2,500.00 above the Bronze package, which includes the brewery equipment, installation and training, the total cost is $192,495.00.

 

We also offer the “Gold” package to those that want the work done for them, which includes “soup to nuts” planning, preparing, organizing, and oversight until each option or project is completed. We assign a private concierge known as the BrewMasters Business Butler™ for each gold package to consult and oversee that each option and project chosen by the purchaser is finished in a timely, professional, and skilled manner. One option or a dozen, the BrewMasters Business Butler™ will handle it all. The cost is an additional $7,500.00 above the silver package, so including the brewing equipment, the total cost is $199,995.00.

The BREWMASTERS BUSINESS BUTLERTM handles the “Tailoring and customization for the purchasers sophisticated and discriminating business palate”.

On the later pages, we offer The Menu of these concierge services for our potential third-party purchasers to choose from and customize the package that they want. This is what makes The Total Beverage Companies stand out from the rest of the industry. As previously mentioned, the quotes and prices discussed on this website are only for a 5 BBL brewery equipment, single batching brewery equipment system without a packaging option (canning, kegging, and bottling) and price and timeline can vary depending on where the equipment is manufactured. Total Beverage has relationships with most of the major players in the brewery equipment industry, most of which are listed with the Brewers Association. Many of which manufacture in the United States of America, Canada, Germany, Europe, and eastern Asia, and the manufacturer’s location will affect potential delivery and installation date(s).

* BBL stands for barrel(s). A barrel of beer is 31 gallons, and the standard size for a keg is a half barrel or 15.5 gallons. Most brewpubs brew in three (3), five (5) or seven (7) barrel batches, some with double batching fermentation and brite tanks. Their vessel configurations depend on the owner's or brewer’s preference when purchasing, with an eye towards the future and growth.

To summarize we offer three packages:

Bronze Package includes the Microbrewery equipment, installation and training, no frills.

Silver Package gives you access to our Network of Solution Professionals and Professional Companies for any option you want from our Menu to plan and oversee yourself.

Gold Package activates our Brewmasters Business Butler™ who will be at your disposal, who is there to consult and oversee that each option chosen by the purchaser is finished in a timely, professional, and skilled manner.
