Microbrewery Equipment Auction

Breweries grow, evolve, and pivot constantly. New recipes demand new setups. Capacity needs change. Expansion plans take shape. Sometimes locations shift, ownership changes, or production models get reworked. In the middle of all that movement, tanks, kettles, canning lines, and support equipment can end up sitting idle longer than expected.

Unused brewing equipment doesn’t just take up floor space; it locks up capital, limits flexibility, and slowly loses resale value. When production priorities change, clearing out surplus assets should feel like progress, not another operational headache. The right liquidation approach creates room, strengthens cash position, and helps you move forward without interrupting daily brewing activity.

Auction Masters provides a structured, high-visibility auction process designed specifically for breweries, taprooms, beverage startups, and production facilities. Whether you’re selling fermenters, bright tanks, brewhouses, kegs, bottling systems, glycol chillers, or a full production line, we help position your equipment in front of serious buyers who are actively searching for quality brewing assets.

Older systems sitting in storage or on the production floor quietly lose value month after month. A competitive auction brings motivated bidders into one space and lets market demand drive the outcome. Our Minnesota-based operation connects your brewing equipment with buyers nationwide, including startup breweries, expanding producers, beverage manufacturers, and equipment resellers. That exposure creates momentum and helps turn underused assets into working capital faster.

Benefits of Selling Microbrewery Equipment Through Auction

Brewing operations run on tight margins and careful planning. When equipment is no longer part of your current production strategy, it makes sense to convert it into capital that can support growth, upgrades, or operational stability. Auction Masters manages the entire process so you can stay focused on brewing, distribution, and customer experience.

Here’s what we take care of:

Professional photography and organized cataloging with clear condition notes
Search-optimized listings built to attract breweries, beverage producers, and equipment buyers
Nationwide marketing that reaches a large audience of high-intent bidders
Full auction coordination, including promotion, bidder support, invoicing, and structured pickup schedules

Whether you’re replacing a few tanks, restructuring your production floor, or closing a location, we help you move equipment efficiently while maintaining business continuity.

Serving Minnesota & Nationwide Brewing Equipment Buyers

Based in the Twin Cities and working with breweries across the country, Auction Masters brings brewing operations together with buyers who understand what well-maintained equipment is actually worth. Our auctions attract interest from independent brewers, regional producers, beverage startups, and specialty manufacturers that need added capacity without the cost of building new.

Breweries usually come to us when systems are due for an upgrade, production plans shift, locations are consolidated, or space simply needs to be freed up. With local roots and a national buyer base, each auction is set up to reach serious bidders and generate real competition.

A Smarter Way to Liquidate Brewing Equipment

Auction Masters is more than a place to list equipment. We work with breweries when change is already underway, when surplus assets need to be converted into capital so the business can move forward. That capital often goes back into recipes, systems, or expansion plans, depending on where the operation is headed next.

Our auctions are managed hands-on, using long-standing experience and an established buyer network to keep sales moving and financially worthwhile. Whether older tanks are being phased out, a packaging line is being reworked, production is scaling up, or a broader operational shift is taking shape, our approach focuses on visibility and real buyer competition.

When you decide it’s time to sell microbrewery equipment, we bring it in front of buyers who are already looking and ready to put proven brewing assets back to use.
