Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value a brewery or distillery in Macon County?
We evaluate the real property (building, land, taproom), production equipment (brew system, fermenters, stills, barrels), taproom revenue, production volume, and any brand or distribution value.
What happens to existing beer or spirits inventory?
Finished product, aging barrels, and raw materials can be included in the sale as a separate line item or liquidated independently before closing.
Do TTB permits and state liquor licenses transfer?
Federal TTB permits and Illinois liquor licenses typically require new applications by the buyer. We coordinate the timing so the buyer can apply while the sale is in progress.
Can I sell just the real estate without the brand or equipment?
Absolutely. We can purchase the property alone while you separately sell or retain the brand, recipes, equipment, and distribution relationships.
What if my brewery is not profitable or has ceased production?
We buy brewery and distillery properties regardless of operating status. A closed facility still has value for the real estate, production infrastructure, and the potential for a new operator.
How quickly can I close on a brewery sale in Macon County?
Most sales close in 21 to 45 days. The timeline depends on inventory negotiation, equipment valuation, and any license coordination with Illinois authorities.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
