Beltway Brewery: This beer’s for you!

I enjoyed this article from a recent WaPo All We Can Eat blog post: Beltway Brewery: This beer’s for you. Hobby brewer Sten Sellier has an innovative business plan for turning his passion into a vocation. He wants to open the first ever "Brewery for Hire."

What’s unique about his business plan, however, is that he has no intention of marketing his own beer brands. No Sten’s Stout, no Loudoun County Lager. Sellier’s Beltway Brewing Co. will be strictly a brewery for hire. If you’re a restaurateur who wants a unique house label, or a microbrewery that’s maxed out on tank space or a would-be beer baron who wants to test the market, Sellier will happily rent out his brew kettle and fermenters so you can mix your barley and hops.

Great idea! Good luck, Sten.
