How to start a successful craft beer brewery

http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/03/smallbusiness/craft-beer-startup-how-to-guide/index.html

Michael Kane went from poring over spreadsheets to pouring craft beer with his name on it.

The former Wall Street investment banker is part of a growing club of Americans who have ditched their boring day jobs to start craft breweries.

"I wasn't totally passionate about analyzing accretion solutions for merging hedge funds. I wanted to do something I was totally vested in and loved," Kane told CNNMoney....

That doesn't mean starting a successful brewing business is all fun and drinking games. Future brew masters should consider the following advice before jumping in.


Dear CNN, there is no "Ocean, N.J." You must mean Ocean Township, usually written as "Ocean Twp.".

So what flavors would the Lounge Brewery have to offer? Cornflake Chicken Pale Ale? Pit Bull Double IPA? Breastfeeding Lager? They'd all have to go well with Olive Garden's unlimited breadsticks.

any more than the inability to make the beer you like to taste.
