The Business Of Beer
Introduction
Created exclusively for our legendary group of owners and investors, this video series aims to take you behind the scenes of Blackflag Brewing, giving you a real taste of what running a brewery is all about, and bringing you with us on this incredible journey.
Brewing
What better way to kick off our Business Of Beer series than to break down the brewing process itself. Here’s our man with the plan, Clint, giving you the insider brewery tour, explaining just what it takes to brew that liquid gold.
Business Models
Next up, we want to give you an understanding of some of the more common business models behind Australian craft breweries, along with some local Sunshine Coast examples, and the pros and cons of each model.
Blackflag’s Journey
Instead of the more traditional approach of building a brewery, making beer, and then building a customer base, Blackflag started with the idea of “how do we build a strong brand first and foremost, and a strong community around that brand”?
Beer Festivals
Beer festivals have helped breweries connect with fans and customers since the industry kicked off. Today we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the economics of the festival world, how the events operate, what they mean to breweries, and what’s next.
