Estimated Scale
No brewery type was found, so these estimates use an assumed generic type.
- Barrels per Year
- 1,500 (Estimated from Brewery Type (E), Low Confidence)

- 46,500 gallons, or 20,667 cases of 24 twelve ounce cans. About 148,800 sixteen ounce cans packaged (assuming 40% packaged) and 223,200 pints on draft.
- Revenue (ARR)
- $1.4M (range $945K to $1.8M, E)
1,500 barrels times $900 per barrel, the benchmark price for an assumed generic type, because no brewery type was found, gives $1,350,000 a year. The range shown is 0.7 to 1.35 times that.

- $108K at 8% (range 5% to 11%, $68K to $149K, E)
