Recently I've been thinking it would be a fun and potentially successful challenge to start a non-alcoholic brewery. Problem is, I don't know hardly anything about brewing.

Specifically though, I have struggled with the fact that many "third places" in my city are breweries - there isn't anywhere to go if you want a large, well maintained outdoor space with seating areas, that also has food and drink options, but that isn't a restaurant looking to turn over tables.

A good NA brewing space could provide the casual "come hang out with your friends/kids" third place that a good brewery does, while catering to those looking to reduce alcohol intake or those that don't drink.

This is actually a decent idea. I have a friend that’s in the brewing space running a small local brewery and can’t do non alcoholic as it is too capital intensive at his scale. But his customers want options.

Meaning there is a decent moat and customer demand.
