Why Breweries and Bars Are Hot Properties in Georgia
Georgia's craft beverage industry has exploded over the past decade, with the state now home to over 100 craft breweries and countless bars, taprooms, and tasting rooms. Legislative changes in 2017 allowing direct-to-consumer sales transformed the industry, and Georgia is now recognized as one of the fastest-growing craft beer markets in the Southeast. This growth has created a robust market for brewery and bar acquisitions, with buyers ranging from passionate brewers to hospitality investors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Brewery & Bar
How is a brewery or bar valued?
Breweries and bars are valued at a multiple of SDE (averaging 2.72x in Georgia). Key factors include revenue and profitability, brand strength, production capacity, distribution relationships, taproom traffic, lease terms, and liquor license status. Breweries with both taproom and distribution revenue streams typically command higher multiples than bars alone.
Does my liquor license transfer to the buyer?
In Georgia, liquor licenses are issued by local municipalities and are generally not directly transferable. The new owner must apply for their own license, which can take 60–120 days depending on the jurisdiction. However, having an existing licensed location significantly streamlines the process. Your broker will help coordinate the license transition to minimize any gap in operations.
What about my recipes and brand?
Recipes, brand assets (logos, labels, social media accounts), and intellectual property are typically included in the sale. For breweries, the recipe library is a significant value component — it represents years of development and customer loyalty to specific beers. These assets should be documented and included in the sale agreement. Trademark registrations add additional value.
How important is my brewing equipment?
Brewing equipment is a major component of a brewery's value. The condition, capacity, and age of your brewhouse, fermenters, bright tanks, and packaging line directly impact the sale price. Having detailed equipment lists with maintenance records, capacity specifications, and original costs helps buyers assess the value accurately. Modern, well-maintained equipment commands a premium.
Can I sell a bar that doesn't brew its own beer?
Absolutely. Bars, taverns, and taprooms without brewing operations are actively traded in Georgia. The valuation focuses on revenue, profitability, location, lease terms, liquor license, and brand strength. Bars with strong concepts — craft cocktail bars, sports bars with loyal followings, wine bars — all have active buyer markets. The key is demonstrating consistent revenue and a loyal customer base.
