Where This One Sits
How much revenue recurs?
How concentrated are the customers?
What happens when the owner leaves for a month?
How clean are the books?
Do the licenses, leases and contracts transfer?
Nothing answered yet, so there is no reading. This does not default to the middle: a midpoint shown for a blank form would say your business is average when you have not told it anything.
The drivers that move the number in this trade specifically are in the full Breweries guide. The picker holds every trade whose cited band is a multiple of one earnings figure; the 13 priced on cap rates, collections, revenue or two bases at once are named with their reasons rather than left out silently. Every cited band, with its drivers and source, is listed below on this page.
What Moves the Multiple
Where the beer is sold moves the price more than how much is made. A brewery pouring most of its volume in its own taproom earns retail margin and answers to nobody but its landlord; one selling through wholesalers earns a fraction of it and carries distribution agreements that state franchise law can make very hard to end. Read the taproom share first, then the keg float, then the excise rate the buyer will actually pay.
