If you want to learn how to start your own brewery and your successful craft brewing business, you have come to the right place. In the past 10 years, TIANTAI has helped setup more than 1000 craft breweries around the world and more than 99% of them are still in business producing excellent craft beers.
 
Without good planning and preparation, breweries, like all new or small businesses, have a high rate of failure. To start a brewery and navigate the pitfalls of bringing your dream to reality, we recommend creating and executing a long-term plan by completing the following ten step process. These steps will take you from concept to grand opening. More importantly, successfully completing these steps will help ensure that your brewery business is prosperous and booming.
 
TIANTAI was founded by experienced craft brewers who know what it takes to make a great brewery and a successful business. More important, they owned qualified brewery equipment.

STEP 1: Concept

It’s been your dream for years. You’ve thought about it and now it’s time to take action and open your own Brewery and share your unique brewing skills with the world. Think carefully and decide what you’ll offer customers & how it will differ from other breweries in your area.

STEP 2: Learn To Brew It Right

If you’re working with TIANTAI, we provide turnkey solutions includes installation and commissioning, training. There, under the watchful eye of our master brewers you’ll learn everything you need to know about the art of brewing by actually doing it. Grain handling, mash in, boiling, mixing, fermenting, finishing – we cover it all.

Step 3: Business Plan

There is an old saying that, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. Nowhere is this more true than in starting your own craft brewery. When you sign up with TIANTAI, our experienced team will work with you to plan exactly what you need. Whether you’re an experimental one barrel pilot brewery, a one tank local microbrewery or a 10 tank aspiring regional power brewer we’ll help you nail down your exact hardware and financing requirements.

Step 4: Financing

As much as we all love great craft beer you can never lose sight of the fact that this is a business. More craft breweries fail for financial reasons than for any other cause. We’ve done craft breweries of all sizes and shapes. We can recommend and help you to financing.

Step 5: Location

With your financing secured it’s time to pick that special location for your brewhouse with the right combination of usable space, affordable rent and, all important, easy public access to ensure plenty of traffic from thirsty craft brew lovers.

Steps 6: Layout

With your location selected we will work with you to layout your brewing system for maximum efficiency. We’ll help you with architectural & engineering drawings of your brewery’s internal space so all your equipment will fit. And in the meantime, TIANTAI will be manufacturing your equipment to order and getting it ready for installation at your location.

Step 7: Construction

Time to select a contractor to build or renovate your selected building to the specifications in your layout. It won’t be pretty but at the end of the process you’ll have a site prepped to receive your new equipment and get ready to brew.

Step 8: Installation

So, the containers arrived and unloaded your qualified new brewery equipment. Now what? If you’re working with TIANTAI, you’ll soon be ready to brew. Our expert technicians will help you install and set up your equipment and, you’ll be good to go as soon as the equipment is ready!

Step 9: Commission

Now the fun starts. Set up the tables and chairs, put in the bar, check out all your new TIANTAI equipment to make sure it’s working correctly and start brewing your unique craft beers!

Step 10: Grand Opening!!

This is it! You planning and persistence are about to pay off. You can announce your new craft brewery to the world (or at least your local area)! And if you’re not quite sure about how to do the launch, never fear.
