rss comments rss top beer picks thursday june 14 2012 craft beer economies of scale ripped content from http craftbeerrestaurant com blog page_id 428 in the restaurant setting craft beer pricing has much more in common with wine pricing than it does with macro brew beer pricing so look to your established wine pricing formulas when establishing your guidelines for craft beer pricing bottled beer for many better restaurants the majority of craft beer sales w ill be by the bottle for some restaurants beer list pricing can mean simply taking the wholesale cost per bottle and multiplying by 2 0 or 2 5 or 3 0 often 2 0 for higher priced products and more for lower priced beers don t worry too much about odd pricing numbers just round each up to the next nickel or dime like 4 32 up to 4 35 or 6 36 up to 6 40 craft beer customers expect quite a bit of variance from type to type and brand to brand an alternative pricing strategy is multiplying the wholesale cost of each beer by a fixed mark up factor say 2 0 then adding on a fixed overhead service charge of something like a fifty cents or a dollar per bottle and then rounding up to the five or dime examples a 12 oz bottle of craft beer with a wholesale cost of 1 67 is fairly sold for up to 4 25 or so a 22 oz bottle of craft beer with a wholesale cost of 4 50 is commonly be sold for 9 00 12 00 a 750 ml bottle of craft beer with a wholesale cost of 8 00 could be priced up to 17 00 on a beer list if your restaurant still sells bottled versions of bud miller coors macrobrews there is no need to change your existing pricing formulas for them some restaurants set a minimum selling price for even the cheapest beer and price beer there even if their normal mark up formula would have the beer selling for less variations from market to market do exist as to what is customary for craft beer mark ups some locations have much higher overhead rent labor taxes etc than others so beer pricing will justifiably vary from area to area price yours fairly for your market and you will make your customers happy draught beer the cost per ounce for craft beer in kegs is roughly 40 45 less than the same beer in bottles you can see how selling craft beer on draught is a good profit opportunity if handled properly and efficiently the general pricing strategy for draught beer is similar to those described above for bottled beer but a higher mark up rate is customarily utilized since the overhead cost for draught beer is higher draught system equipment depreciation cost system maintenance supplies co2 nitrogen adjustments weekly line cleaning keg change outs etc spillage and potential spoilage it is customary to factor in a higher overhead charge per glass than would be charged for bottled beers in practice this should bring the regular sale price per ounce to roughly the same point as the bottled version of the same beer this higher regular price also allows room for periodic special pricing on draught beer such as during early evening hours when business is typically slower rule of thumb if most of your craft beer business is by the bottle calculate your selling price for the bottles and then price your draught beer similarly ounce for ounce similar product category conversely if your craft beer business is predominantly done on tap determine your draught beer sales prices and price bottled beers comparably that means that two beers of similar quality type and style should sell for a similar price per ounce even though one is bottled and one is draught price variety important having price variety among the craft beers on the beer list is a good thing craft beer customers like fine wine customers understand that product costs vary greatly they expect each product offering to be priced based on its underlying cost when offering two beers in the same style category it works best to have one of them a more exclusive brew at a higher cost than the other to encourage a trade up to higher perceived quality and higher restaurant profit as with wines the price of a craft beer is a proxy for its quality the higher the price the greater the perceived quality it is a good practice to offer at least a couple of beers that cost 50 to 100 more per bottle than the standard craft beer offerings similar to offering a grand cru bordeaux a 98 point rated cabernet sauvignon a barolo or high end champagne offering one or more of the world s very best beers sets a premium tone for the entire beer list for example the belgian trappist beer orval widely considered among the world s best beers with a wholesale cost around 4 00 per 11 oz bottle could be fairly priced on a beer list at 8 50 to 9 00 in comparison a standard offering from a quality craft brewery like bear republic boulder bells or brooklyn would be fairly priced at about 4 00 5 00 for a 12 oz bottle a 12 oz bottle of dogfish head s revered 120 minute ipa can easily bring 13 or more on a restaurant beer list consult with your distributor for help with comparison pricing in your market using the above pricing examples the tab for a typical craft beer customer consuming two 12 oz bottles with dinner will range from 9 to 20 in this example if beer costs are running around 38 to 45 the sale would generate a gross profit of 5 70 to 11 00 per craft beer customer if serving craft draught your profit should be even greater

whatshouldwedo we received a call today from a producer guy out in hollywood it turns out that a big famous rock band wants to use our beer in their video that s being shot in two weeks this band is super popular and i m sure the video will get tons of airplay the guy on the phone said we d like to have your delivery truck pull up to this frat party and wheel up a bunch of dark horse then we ll get some crowd shots of the kids holding your cans aaron replied we don t do cans we have bottles the guy said that would be fine it s obvious that this would be a great opportunity for us and maybe get some mainstream youth into craft beer rather than the swill however none of us at the brewery really care for the band or frat parties so our knee jerk reaction is no thanks but how cool would it be to see our beer in a video aaron said why cant it be some cool band like slayer the guy that called said the lead singer is familiar with our brand what does that mean does the lead singer of nickleback drink craft beer anyway we have until monday to give them our answer while we think about this we d like your opinion what should we do mike darkhorsebrewery com posted by brew studs craft
