As a brewery your most viable path to market may include:
Producing:
Vodka, which can also be used to produce gin and Ready to Drink beverages (RTD's)
Aged products such as whiskey (bourbon, rye, single malt)

Utilizing raw ingredients you may already have:
Malted barley
Wheat
Rye
Corn

Utilizing production equipment you may already own:
Brewhouse, Mash tun, lauter tuns, fermenters, boilers, chillers, ancillary tanks
Bottling/Canning equipment, bright tanks

Generating revenue from:
New product sales
Contract distilling for other breweries

Products made from beer and grains:
•Whiskey can be produced from beer or fermented grain mashes. Grains used include malted barley, rye, wheat, corn.
Single malt, bourbon, rye, blended
Aged in barrels for 3-12 years
Some existing brew house equipment can be used in production

•Vodka can be produced from any type of mash. Wheat mash is fairly common and can yield excellent vodka. Produce vodka requires a rectification column in your distillation system.
Produced from any fermented mash.
Un-aged spirit can yield revenue quickly
Some existing brew house equipment can be used in production

•Gin is produced using distilled vodka (NGS) as a base. The vodka is Infused with botanicals and re-distilled resulting in gin.
Produced from NGS and infused botanicals
Un-aged spirit can yield revenue quickly
Some existing brew house equipment can be used in production

•Ready To Drink beverages or RTD's are pre-mixed canned or bottled beverages. RTD's usually use vodka as a base but can be produced using gin or whiskey mixed with juice, tea or other flavors.

As with any new business, achieving positive cash flow as soon as possible is essential. Keep in mind most whiskeys will require aging of 3 - 12 years resulting in delayed revenue. While a portion of your whiskey is aging, focus on creating vodka or NGS, from which you can produce gin and RTD’s. All of which will help establish more immediate revenue streams.
In addition, look at ways of incorporating your distillation runs that allow you to improve overall operational efficiencies such as distilling during your slower brew seasons or down times.
