Turnkey Vancouver, Washington Brewery & Pub for Sale — New School Beer + Cider

It's not often that someone can buy a relatively new brewery that hasn't went out of business, but that's exactly the opportunity now available in Vancouver, Washington where you can purchase a turnkey brewpub in the downtown hub.

Trusty Brewing Company was founded in 2015, opened in 2016, and has 3,492 sq. ft of space with 1,482 of that on main taproom floor and 2,010 sqft on a brewery level. Situated just a few blocks from I-5 coming in from Portland or heading north towards Seattle, the location places Trusty Brewing in the downtown area near other beer destinations like Heathen Brewing Public House and Mav's Taphouse.

Trusty Brewing's Corner Window IPA was named ‘Best IPA in Vancouver’ by Willamette Week in 2016, the same year the brewery opened. Production takes place at a small taproom equipped 3.5 bbl brewhouse situated in a lower level with pub goers able to peer down from the main level onto the brew deck and production operations.

The opportunity to turnaround the brewery includes the benefits of a full taproom and kitchen with an outdoor patio that seats 50. The current kitchen puts out items like sandwiches, salads, pretzels, and a kids menu designed to cater to a broad crowd. Features include a live stage and sound system for performances, and a flat screen TV over the bar. It's overall a modest setup, but one easy to step into and run a satellite location with a pilot brewery, or possibly even better for a homebrewer or nano brewer to scale up sustainably without taking on a much larger operation.

Trusty Brewing ownership is apparently getting out of the business because of family matters, and the brewery and taproom are still in operation and haven't went out of business. So an alternative option would be to carry on the Trusty Brewing brand with a new owner. The current seller willing to offer terms of 40% down with remainder over 60 months at prime, but a new lease would have to be signed onto this fall but the building owner is supposedly amenable to a renewal.
