The Start A Brewery Podcast

Your Dream: Foundation Essentials continues past the Gut Check in Episode 002 to assembling the essential elements to create a solid foundation upon which to construct a compelling business plan. Our guests discuss legal elements, location, utilities, and other criteria while emphasizing the importance of allowing for flexibility with time, money, and vision.

Show Notes

Our mission today continues the thread from our Gut Check episode, where we discussed the critical
questions that you should ask yourself as you make the decision to move forward with your dream.
Those were the deal breakers, the alarm bells to respect, and the signals that should be heeded lest you
move forward into hazardous, potentially disastrous areas with a new business.


Today we follow that with the first fledgling steps for moving forward, assembling those essential
elements to create a solid foundation upon which to construct a compelling business plan.
This discussion makes this ephemeral, hypothetical, “what if??” scenario very much more real. When
you consider ownership structure, sales, costs, production, and hard factors like ceiling height and water
line capacity, “Your Dream” becomes boots-on-the-ground real. So get ready to get your hands dirty!

Guests:

Dustin Hauck of Hauck Architecture

William Camacho of CLTVT and HRVST

Brook Bristow of Bristow Beverage Law
