5.0 out of 5 stars More than I had hoped for., April 23, 2000

By	"zwanziger" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

An in-depth look into what it takes to open your own brewery or brewpub. Much more than I had dreamed of, and well worth the 60-odd bucks. It is put together like a text-book, broken into the various chapters/steps in opening. Not a good book for those who want light reading about brewing. I would only recommend it to those who are in or WANT to be in the brewing business. Top Notch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its helpful!, September 10, 2002

By A Customer

That first review, dont worry about it. This book is helpful your not going to find any prices in this book on purpose, because prices on things change so much. If thats all your concerned about than this book isnt for you. This book is extreamly helpful and lots of information on how other breweries did it. It also includes a sample business plan. This is well worth the money!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to get started, August 17, 2004

By	R. M. Oliver - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As has been said previously, there are few pricing details in this book. Not that they would help me in 2004, since this book is getting on in years. Other than that, it's an excellent reference for things you probably aren't thinking about. It takes a realistic approach to the problems a brewer will face and helps the reader to understand the many layers there are in opening their own brewery. It's not just a matter of deciding to do it and start brewing. I think some readers want their hand held through the whole thing, which obviously can't be done. Great book for anyone else.
