This is a bit of a bleak post to have to write, but with the extended and repeated alcohol bans, there is an increasing number of breweries up for sale. I get regular requests asking for equipment or complete businesses up for sale so I thought it might be useful to post this here and try to keep it updated. Upside – although many breweries are closing, a lot of them will be revived by new owners.
