Brewhouse Equipment Group

Brewery Closures in Kentucky

Buyout or full liquidation for Kentucky breweries — Louisville, Lexington, Covington and statewide. We handle disconnect, rigging, loading and freight, so you are not coordinating three vendors during the worst month of your year.

What Kentucky closures usually look like

Kentucky is a distilling state first, which shapes the equipment market in a useful way — closures here often carry mash, fermentation and spirit-side gear alongside brewing equipment, and the two markets overlap more than people expect.

Getting it out of Kentucky

An hour or two down I-65. About as easy as it gets for us.

Two ways we can do this

Buyout

One check for the whole package. We come to Louisville or wherever you are, look at what you have, and make an offer. If you take it, we handle the removal and you are finished.

Full liquidation

We list and sell each piece to end users over a period of weeks and pass the proceeds through less our fee. Higher gross than a buyout, and it takes longer. Right when you have time and wrong when you do not.

What we buy out of a Kentucky brewery

Whole packages are easiest and usually worth the most, but we will look at anything on this list.

Equipment is pulled from the facility in working condition unless a listing notes otherwise. Send a list and photographs of the nameplates and we can give you a real number instead of a cautious one.
