Home Brewing Supply Shop Success Stories [2024]

Updated: July 23rd, 2024

The home brewing supply shop is a business that sells all the supplies you need to make your own beer.

You will be in charge of buying, stocking, and selling all supplies needed for making beer. You may also be in charge of training customers on how to use the equipment and ingredients needed for home brewing.

The market is ripe for the picking. This is a new industry with tons of growth potential, and the market is wide open for you to make a name for yourself in the space.

You'll need to do some research before you jump in, of course. But once you've done that, we recommend starting small with one type of product—like beer or wine kits—and building from there. If you do it right, you'll be able to turn your home brewing supply business into an empire that will bring in millions annually!

In this list, you'll find real-world home brewing supply shop success stories and very profitable examples of starting a home brewing supply shop that makes money.
