To evaluate an employee wage for the brewers consider the following:
Production Quantity
Per 1.5 bbl batch (~45 gals) is equal to ~360 - 16 oz pours at 90%/80% pour efficiency = 324 /288 pints total.
Ingredients
- - Grain - ~ 120# at ~$0.80/# = $96
- - Hops - ~ 2# at ~$10/# = $20
- - Yeast - 100g at $60/500g = ~$12
- - CO2 ~ 1/2 tank at $24 = $12
- - Cleaning supplies ...minimal
TOTAL material cost $140
$140/324 pints = $0.43 per pint ...not including labor or utilities (electricity, water, HVAC, insurance, etc).
Labor
It takes ~ 9 hr/1.5 bbl batch (6 hr brew day, 3 hr cleaning, kegging, carbonating, etc). At an hourly wage of $10/hour, then this would be an additional $90 per batch expense...making the total cost of a batch (1.5 bbl) $230...or 230/324 = $0.71 per pint.
- - at $12/hr labor cost --> $0.77 per pint
- - at $13/hr labor cost --> $0.79 per pint
- - at $14/hr labor cost --> $0.82 per pint
- - at $15/hr labor cost --> $0.85 per pint
Independent of labor cost the markup on draft beer is >80%.
At 80% pour efficiency and $15/hour wage, cost is $0.95 per pint.
