[email protected] www.hgfenton.com/breweryigniter.com BREWERY IGNITER H.G. Fenton Company launched Brewery Igniter, San Diego’s turnkey brewing facility, to help new and smaller brewers overcome the high upfront capital costs and long construction and production timelines associated with launching or expanding a brewing business. The first two Brewery Igniter locations came on the market in mid-2014 in Miramar where Pure Project Brewing debuted its Costa Rica-inspired brews and PB-based Amplified Aleworks expanded its production capabilities. Up next is CRAFT at Brewery Igniter North Park, a site on El Cajon Boulevard with three spaces for brewers. Pariah Brewing has announced it will occupy one of the spaces and two additional brewers will be announcing soon. All Brewery Igniter facilities come equipped with state-of-the-art, fullyfunctional brewing systems and tasting rooms. Entrepreneur brewers can rent the space and start production immediately so that their product gets to market faster with drastically reduced upfront capital investment and risk. Typically, a startup microbrewer must invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in brewing equipment, manage construction expenses and logistics and wait for a liquor license and their equipment to be delivered and installed before they can brew, pour and sell their first pint. The Brewery Igniter solution provides the space and all of the equipment to produce and sell craft beer, so that a startup microbrewery can begin selling product as soon as it gets its ABC license, which can take as little as two months.
