Small craft brewery on a freehold industrial unit in Cambridge

About this business

Craft brewery set up in 2024 on a Cambridge industrial estate, in a unit the business owns freehold, run by a team of 3. It brews cask and keg beer for local pubs and sells bottles and cans direct. Turnover has slipped slightly from £421k to £410k, and EBITDA has stayed at £47k, a margin of about 11%. The brewhouse, fermenters and the unit itself come with the business. With so small a team, a buyer would need to brew or bring a brewer, and could grow output from the same kit.

Key investment highlights

  • Freehold brewery unit included
  • Brewhouse and fermenters in place
  • EBITDA of £47k on £410k turnover
  • Team of 3

Reason for sale

The head brewer and co-owner is leaving the industry, and the other owner does not want to run it alone.
