Established and Popular Brewery For Sale | Waconia Brewing Co.
Business Description
SVN | Northco is pleased to present, as exclusive advisor to ownership, the sale of Waconia Brewing Company (“Business”), a well-established and award-winning craft brewery located in the heart of Waconia, Minnesota. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey brewing operation with strong brand recognition, a loyal customer base, and meaningful upside potential.
Founded with a passion for craft and community, Waconia Brewing Company has cultivated a following of over 12,000 across Facebook and Instagram and maintains a prominent presence in the local market through events, collaborations, and community engagement. The Business features a welcoming, family-friendly taproom that serves flagship beers, rotating seasonal selections, hard seltzers, and house-made root beer. The facility includes a high-capacity production brewhouse with a Premier Stainless 10-barrel, 3-vessel system, supported by ample fermentation and brite tank capacity. In-house packaging is facilitated by a Cask 3-head SAMS canning line, with product already distributed across the Twin Cities metro area.
While current ownership has focused on operations, there is presently no active sales team or outbound distribution effort. Notably, previous sales initiatives resulted in distribution volumes that were over three times higher than current levels, demonstrating clear potential for growth with renewed marketing and sales focus. This is an ideal opportunity for an operator or investor seeking to build on a respected brand and tap into the growing demand for local craft beverages.
