Turn-Key CT Production Brewery & Brewpub – Room to Grow
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a turn-key, production brewery and full-service brewpub in Middlesex County, Connecticut. The business has built a loyal local following, an award-recognized beer portfolio, and a growing private-event calendar, all while operating well below its true capacity.
The company brews 100% of its beer on-site, currently producing roughly 200 barrels annually against a production capacity of approximately 500 barrels, leaving meaningful headroom for a new owner to grow volume without major capital investment. Virtually all revenue currently comes from in-house taproom sales, meaning wholesale/distribution and expanded dining services represent largely untapped growth channels.
The sale includes a fully equipped production facility, a full liquor license, all furniture, fixtures and equipment, current inventory, and a leasehold position on an attractive 5.11-acre site with easy highway access and two parking lots. The original buildout and equipment investment exceeded $600,000 and is being offered well below replacement cost.
Financial performance has been consistent, with gross revenue in the $560,000–$705,000 range over the past three fiscal years and recast seller's discretionary earnings reaching as high as $200,000 in a strong year. Ownership is committed to a smooth, relationship-based transition and is open to remaining involved post-sale to support continuity.
This is an ideal acquisition for an existing brewery/hospitality operator looking to expand, an investor seeking a cash-flowing hospitality asset with real upside, or an experienced operator ready to step into a turn-key business with brand equity and infrastructure already in place.

About the Business
- Employees
- 10 (1 Full-time, 9 Part-time)
- Facilities & Assets
- The leased facility includes a full taproom and bar, an on-site commercial kitchen supporting a made-to-order food and catering program, and dedicated areas for private events, rehearsal dinners, covered patio space and community programming (trivia, live music, tastings, and seasonal events).
The sale is structured as an asset sale and includes all production equipment, furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements, vehicles, and current inventory tied to the business. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The Connecticut craft beer market continues to support a strong culture of local breweries, cross-promotion, and collaboration, and this business has built relationships with other regional breweries for joint events and collaborations.
- Opportunities for Growth
- 1) Production upside: Current output of ~200 BBL/year runs well below the facility's ~500 BBL licensed capacity — roughly 60% upside available from existing infrastructure, with two fermenter hookups already pre-installed for further expansion.
2) Wholesale/distribution: The business is not currently distributing to outside accounts in any meaningful way; local restaurants periodically inquire about kegs, but this channel has not been actively pursued, leaving a clean platform for a new owner to build a wholesale program.
3) Dining format: Converting from the current order-at-the-counter model to traditional sit-down service could materially increase average check size and covers.

- Transition Support
- Current ownership is fully committed to a seamless transition to ensure continuity of production, key commercial relationships, employee retention, and ongoing event/project execution. This includes hands-on support transferring brewing processes, recipes, and quality standards to ensure production continuity from day one.
The business also comes with an experienced, tenured hourly staff (bartenders/servers, several with multiple years of tenure) and a dedicated full-time chef leading the kitchen and catering program, providing a new owner with a trained team already in place.
