Opening a brewery and pub in Ukraine

 

While opening a restaurant from scratch can be quite different from opening a brewery or pub, there will be similarities in many business processes. Beer is the honorary leader among popular drinks in the world and occupies, if not the first, then the second place in terms of sales. If you are seriously considering the beer industry as a business, then opening a brewery and a pub is something you might be interested in.

The opening of a brewery can be accompanied by significant capital investments due to expensive equipment and high technological requirements.
