Waconia Brewing Company

Waconia is a thriving, affluent and growing western submarket in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. The community is located just 30 miles west of downtown Minneapolis, and it is only 10 miles from the town of Victoria and famous Lake Minnetonka. The submarkets bordering Waconia to the east are some of the wealthiest in the State of Minnesota, and also contain some of the most desirable communities in the metropolitan area in which to live. Household incomes exceed $125,000 for the majority of the submarket. Waconia Square is located in the charming downtown area on Main Street, only one block from Lake Waconia. This is a scenic lake containing an island that is very popular for a variety of recreational activities. Minneapolis-Saint Paul is currently the 16th largest MSA in the United States with nearly 3,700,000 residents.SVN | Northco is pleased to present, as exclusive advisor to ownership, the sale of Waconia Brewing Company (“Business”), a well-established and award-winning craft brewery located in the heart of Waconia, Minnesota. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey brewing operation with strong brand recognition, a loyal customer base, and meaningful upside potential. Founded with a passion for craft and community, Waconia Brewing Company has cultivated a following of over 12,000 across Facebook and Instagram and maintains a prominent presence in the local market through events, collaborations, and community engagement. The Business features a welcoming, family-friendly taproom that serves flagship beers, rotating seasonal selections, hard seltzers, and root beer. The facility includes a high-capacity production brewhouse with a Premier Stainless 10-barrel, 3-vessel system, supported by ample fermentation and brite tank capacity. In-house packaging is facilitated by a 4 head Wild Goose canning line with a Ska Half Pint Depalletizer and Sawvel Pak-Tek Applicator, with product already distributed across the Twin Cities metro area. While current ownership has focused on operations, there is presently no active sales team or outbound distribution effort. Notably, previous sales initiatives resulted in distribution volumes that were over three times higher than current levels, demonstrating clear potential for growth with renewed marketing and sales focus. This is an ideal opportunity for an operator or investor seeking to build on a respected brand and tap into the growing demand for local craft beverages.
