Restaurants & Food Businesses for Sale

  • Primary Category: Breweries for Sale

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Northern California’s most decorated and highly regarded craft brewery and restaurant concepts.

Established in 2018 and operating under original ownership, the business has become a true destination—combining an award-winning brewing program, full-service restaurant, and craft cocktail bar under one roof.

At the center of the opportunity is an exceptionally rare licensing structure featuring both a Type 23 Small Beer Manufacturer license and a Type 75 full liquor license, allowing revenue generation across beer production, full-service dining, cocktails, and future distribution opportunities.

The brewery is nationally and internationally recognized, anchored by two flagship beers:
• A medal-winning IPA with 18 awards, including 11 Gold medals and recognition by Forbes among the world’s best
• A Czech-style Pilsner recognized by Forbes as one of the world’s best, with multiple Gold medals
With 99 industry awards, the brand is widely regarded as one of the most decorated craft breweries in Northern California.

Beyond beer, the business delivers a complete hospitality experience through a Spanish/Mediterranean-inspired gastropub menu, strong Happy Hour program, private events, and full cocktail offerings—creating multiple revenue streams throughout the day and evening.

Operating from an approximately 6,000 sq. ft. Midtown location with seating for around 200 guests, the business benefits from strong visibility, walkability, and proximity to major demand drivers.
This is more than a restaurant or brewery—it is a scalable hospitality platform with opportunities for expanded production, wholesale distribution, private events, and potential multi-location growth.

This Brewpub-Restaurant is a California Sub Chapter S Corporation and has been in operation for 7 years and under the current founding ownership since inception. As a craft brewery, they possess a rare and hard-to-get Type 75 liquor license, which is an on-sale general license for bona fide eating places, allowing the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for on-site consumption. It permits on-site brewing of beer (up to 5,000 barrels/year) to be served in the restaurant, and it allows minors on the premises. In addition to this Type 75 license, they also possess a Type 23 liquor license. This is for a Small Beer Manufacturer, allowing for the production of up to 60,000 barrels of beer annually. It enables on-site testing, retail sales to consumers, and distribution to wholesalers/retailers. Holders can also produce cider/perry and operate up to 6 branch locations.

The beers produced are nationally and internationally recognized, with one of their flagship IPAs holding 18 medals, including a jaw-dropping 11 Golds at major competitions such as the Great American Beer Festival, U.S. Open Beer Championship, NABA International Beer Awards, and was named among the world’s best IPAs by Forbes. Complementing this is a world-class Czech-style Pilsner, also recognized by Forbes as one of the world’s best Pilsners, and also awarded Gold at the U.S. Open Beer Championship. Together, these two flagship beers represent excellence across both hop-forward and classic lager styles—an achievement few breweries can claim.

With now 99 prestigious beer awards and counting, this operation is widely regarded as one of the most decorated craft breweries in Northern California and a true destination for beer enthusiasts. Their brewing philosophy is rooted in traditional methods—unfiltered, unpasteurized, and patiently crafted—allowing time and technique to deliver exceptional clarity, balance, and depth of flavor.

But this business extends far beyond great beer. The meticulously curated menu showcases a Spanish-inspired tapas program alongside elevated gastropub favorites. From refined seafood dishes to high-quality burgers and house-made fish & chips, the kitchen delivers a versatile and consistently acclaimed dining experience designed to appeal to a broad audience.
A thoughtfully executed Happy Hour program further drives traffic and accessibility, while the full craft cocktail offering enhances the overall guest experience.

No direct competitor in the market combines award-winning brewing, a full-service restaurant, and a full craft cocktail program under one roof.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a true Northern California destination—where award-winning craft beer, Farm-to-Fork cuisine, and artfully crafted cocktails come together in a highly differentiated and celebrated concept.
