SVN | Northco is pleased to present, as exclusive advisor to ownership, the sale of Waconia Brewing Company (“Business”), a well-established and award-winning craft brewery located in the heart of Waconia, Minnesota. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey brewing operation with strong brand recognition, a loyal customer base, and meaningful upside potential. Founded with a passion for craft and community, Waconia Brewing Company has cultivated a following of over 12,000 across Facebook and Instagram and maintains a prominent presence in the local market through events, collaborations, and community engagement. The Business features a welcoming, family-friendly taproom that serves flagship beers, rotating seasonal selections, hard seltzers, and root beer. The facility includes a high-capacity production brewhouse with a Premier Stainless 10-barrel, 3-vessel system, supported by ample fermentation and brite tank capacity. In-house packaging is facilitated by a 4 head Wild Goose canning line with a Ska Half Pint Depalletizer and Sawvel Pak-Tek Applicator, with product already distributed across the Twin Cities metro area. While current ownership has focused on operations, there is presently no active sales team or outbound distribution effort. Notably, previous sales initiatives resulted in distribution volumes that were over three times higher than current levels, demonstrating clear potential for growth with renewed marketing and sales focus. This is an ideal opportunity for an operator or investor seeking to build on a respected brand and tap into the growing demand for local craft beverages. Highlights • Established and Award-Winning: Well-known craft brewery with strong local and regional brand recognition; operates as a distribution brewery with an active, community-focused taproom. • Business-Only Sale: Real estate is not included, offering operational flexibility and a lower upfront investment. The landlord is supportive of keeping the brewery in place and open to expansion within the existing building. • Prime Location: Situated in Waconia, MN, with a family-friendly taproom offering beers, seltzers, root beer, and games. • Engaged Customer Base: Over 12,000 combined followers on Facebook and Instagram; strong community presence through events and partnerships. • High Production Capacity: Premier Stainless 10-barrel, 3-vessel brewhouse capable of producing up to 4,000 barrels annually; current production is under 1,000 barrels, offering significant room for growth. • Well-Equipped Facility: Includes 9×20 BBL fermenters, 1×10 BBL fermenter, 1×5 BBL fermenter, 10×20 BBL brite tanks, and 1×5 BBL brite tank.
