Brewhouse and taproom. Brew beer people ask for by name.

Brewing is a capital business pretending to be a craft one: the kit, the cold store and the cans are paid for long before the beer is sold. Duty and packaging take a large slice of every pint, and trade customers pay in sixty days while malt suppliers want paying in thirty. A taproom at the unit sells the same beer at retail prices and is often what makes the numbers work.
