Investment Opportunity: New England Craft Brewery

Rockport Investment Partners is pleased to announce that the firm is working with VR Business Sales/Mergers and Acquisitions of New Haven to represent the sale of an operating, turnkey craft brewery based near a New England metropolitan center.

This Brewery has been brewing artisan ales for over 16 years. The Brewery’s well provides high quality water for the making of beer, and the Brewery enjoys access to a public wastewater system. The Brewery’s current annual production is 1,200 barrels, which is far below the capacity to produce up to 10,000 barrels per year with existing equipment. The offer includes all inventory, the water well, equipment, buildings and real estate.

The Brewery provides a terrific foundation and investment opportunity for a strategic or financial buyer, and/or a brewing team to continue to grow the Brewery’s platform. Please reach out to Nathan Klatt or Bill Hall for more information.
