How to successfully open your own microbrewery (Pixeled Brewing, Fargo, ND)

In this video, Nick, the owner of Pixeled Brewing discusses how he built an arcade tap room brewpub in an historic building in Fargo, ND. He discusses why he wanted to open an arcade brewpub, how he branded it, the equipment he chose, what a typical brew day looks like, some of the ups and downs of owning a brewpub, and he gives several pieces of sage advice.

I actually did this in my garage for my homebrew. I have a TV setup over my beer fridge/tap/draft system with an NES and original Mario Bros. I play while I'm waiting on mash, boil, etc. The old arcade games are a nice touch. Of course someone else already had the idea before me!

Outstanding video!!! I'm new to brewing. I'm an air traffic controller by trade, but I hope to have a business much like this within 10 years when I'm eligible to retire from govt service. Love these brewha systems!!! Excellent engineering.

Good job

[@TheExplorder]

I love the passion and the guts that this guy has. However at 04:25 he said that he's still experimenting with the brewing to get it optimal. I would make sure that you get a steady product, without to much fluctuation. Also, I personally feel like you should only sell beer that you are completely happy with, and you shouldn't just sell it because people think it's okay-ish. Make sure that you have a vision of the beer that you want to serve, and what you think is perfect beer, Otherwise, slacking is prone to happen. Awesome video, keep up the good work.

[@user-oj2pf4hb8e]

good work!

[@ScullyBrewing]

I think it's fine to have an experimental or accidental beer. make it half price for people to try out and see if they like it, if so, keep it and if not, it never makes it on the manu again. make everything perfect to a T and you'll stagnate. experiment and keep it interesting.

@@ScullyBrewing Keep pushing for perfection and you'll only progress

[@baileywillsxo]

@@TheExplorder he shouldve just given that batch to friends and family, not customers

[@MultiDzoo]

You must have missed the part where he said "just because its not your taste profile doesn't mean its bad."

Beer and arcade games!!! Wicked!!!

[@unsaltedlife5998]

I keep thinking I want to do this however not sure if I want to take a fun hobby and turn it into work.

[@joedavis3000]

I'm in very early stage of trying to determine if I want to start a nano brewery and would greatly appreciate advice from the one's that's been there and done that

[@deckerhand12]

I have though about it as well but no matter the system you use its going to be pricey. When I looked into my state between equipment building and permits it was upwards of over a million dollars. I am sure other states are much cheaper

[@unsaltedlife5998]

Do you do contract brewing?

[@Brewha]

Hi Carlos -- I believe they do. Email us at [e-mail] and we can provide their contact details.

[@probegt75]

So, pretty much you have to be a millionaire before you can even start a brewery?

[@Brewha]

Definitely not -- several customers have shared startup budgets at the link below video (our customers opening budgets range between $80k and $400k): brewhaequipment.com/blogs/how-to-brew-beer/how-to-successfully-open-your-own-microbrewery
