For a person considering the decision to open a new brew pub, there will be many questions and topics to think about. A good place to start the research process is by reading a few select texts that provide real life examples of successful brew pubs and the techniques that they have used to create an effective business. These books should be read before money is invested on expensive equipment so that the person is sure they know everything that will be required. One book that many experts recommend is called “How to Open a Brew Pub or Microbrewery.” This text is considered to be the Bible for opening a brew pub and many owners have used the blueprints to set up their own location. Other reading materials that could prove valuable are the “Brew Pub Manuals” book by Innovative Brewing Technologies and the “Brewery Planner” that is made by the association of beer brewers.
