Micro-Breweries

 
 
 
 
The introduction of a new micro-beer Avondale Stout is planned. The Avondale Stout Works will be a limited partnership with one general partner and 19 limited partners. Initial capitalization will be $750,000 from the investors and $300,000 in bank loans.

Consumers will obtain Avondale Stout through retail outlets, as opposed to on-premises consumption of the product. First year sales of 30,000 cases are expected to generate revenues approximating $750,000. First year expenses are projected in a range from $670,000-to-$800,000. Profitability is projected to be assured in the fourth and subsequent years of operation.

First, there is the product concept, which assumes that "consumers will favor those products that offer the most quality for the price" (Kotler, 1993, p. 28).
