European Tribune

I spent some time pricing up a small brewery and did quite a bit of research on beer-making. The idea was quickly scuttled as the cost of a start-up was horrific, well beyond what my bank manager would let me play with!)

I was interested in this as you can pick up a small brewery for about £10,000 (13,000 euros). As for the water, the process is known as Burtonization and standard kits are available.

Just reassure me you would never use brewing candy or rice.

The quote I got in the west of Ireland was in the region of over 100,000, everything had to be imported from the Czech Republic (the brewer I had in mind to start up the company was a Czech citizen whose father is a legendary brewer in Prague). I'm in the wine business now, well, have been for the last 30 years...

The micro brewing revolution has entirely changed the economics of brewery installations in the last decade or so.

It's actually a long term idea I have for eastern europe. I think it could be quite lucrative if done correctly.
