The Illusive Brewery Profits Problem
You’re brewing great beer and patrons are walking through your doors. You should be making more money, but you’re just not moving the needle… Sound familiar?
You’re not alone!
The truth is that many brewery businesses struggle with profitability, even though they brew incredible beer and even when they already have good customer flow.
Brewing beer is one thing, making money is another.
My name is Kary Shumway. I’m a CPA, former CFO for a beer distributor, and current CFO for Wormtown Brewery in Worcester, MA.
I’ve spent the last 20 years using finance to help improve financial results in my beer businesses. Now, I’m helping other breweries increase profits, increase cash flow, and increase financial stability.
