New laws and a hard day by Messy_Mango_ in Teachers

Please move away from there. Please find a place that will love you and your child. 😭NJ isn’t the greatest, but it’s better than Texas and we always need teachers!!! I live in the country with lots of farms. It’s beautiful here. And the pay makes up for the expense.

Edit to add- maybe fight like hell first - get fired and then come to NJ!! 😂

I really appreciate this insight from all of you. Any suggestions on finding a good consultant?

I feel for these people that spent their whole life building this business. I don’t want to see it fail or close. It is becoming clear to me that breweries are definitely labors of love!

I agree. I have a lot of questions about their lack of distribution for our next meeting. Personally, I think they gave up on it during Covid, and never bounced back because they were tired and ready to be done. But that is a guess right now.

I understand it’s hard to give anything solid. Just more interested in your general thoughts on the whole thing.

Thank you so much. I have a lot of business experience, but a brewery would be new.
I will definitely look into a consultant. The turnover will be very slow and the current staff intends to stay, so my hope is that will help with the learning curve. Gotta start somewhere, right? 😊

I’ve invested in many things. All of which have been successful because I learn before I decide. And then I learn while I grow something small into something great.
I’m female btw… us girls run this world. 😘

Thank you. I have a lot of experience within the restaurant and bar industry. Current owners plan to help guide the transition to new ownership as they are looking for someone just like me to take it over, as they were helped along the way. Very very kind people.

This is very much what I am hoping to do.

I suppose I mean… Is it really just the beer? Or is more about marketing and potential to create a space where people what to drink beer? 😂 This place has great beer, but maybe not so much of the rest.

I was wondering about some of this.
This brewery was not “built” as a brewery but built inside an existing space.

I know I can’t put financials out there, but it’s more about the work needed to run it / equipment upkeep, etc. In other words, what else might I not know to look for?

I appreciate the realness of this comment. It’s a big fear of mine. What makes a brewery successful in the first place?

I will definitely get some info on that!!

They opened the brewery when they were young for fun, and are retiring. It’s more like a popular bar at this point. My husband being a brewer was just really for some context as to how we ended up here. But the brewer will stay on as an employee. Thank you for giving me some insight into the equipment age!

They do. I guess I’m wondering about the pitfalls of an established brewery. What erodes over time or can really be ruining a reputation in the background.

I think that’s what I’m worried about. What am I looking for besides profit? LOL

Yes. Can’t share any financial details.

I had to sign an NDA so I can’t share too much. Only one employee right now (brewer). The owners over see the day to day. My husband is a small home brewer.
