I almost started up a brewery. At the last minute I thought, "What job do I want in this brewery". I went through all of the normal jobs: brewer who does all the physical labour, bottle washer/filler, sales person, etc, etc, etc. I didn't want any of the jobs. What I really wanted to do was to devise interesting new beers. As a home brewer I did that weekly. As professional brewer I would be lucky to do that seasonally. I realised, "This is not a job I want" and gave it up. All of the successful brewers I know (and I'm lucky enough to know quite a few) really enjoy building a business. Brewing is what they do because brewing is cool to them, but their real passion is building the business. I had a lucky escape, because that's just not my thing.
