Tired of the rat race here in the big city? Have you ever visited The Beer Shoppe in downtown Yakima? Well, apparently it’s for sale. It is a friendly, cozy place with 21 taps and 3 beer engines. For retail, there is a reach-in cooler and plenty of space for shelving. If you’re familiar with downtown Yakima, The Beer Shoppe is located about four or five blocks west of The Sports Center and Millennium Plaza, where they have the Fresh Hop Festival every year.

Current owners are willing to offer short term mentorship to the new ownership and share contacts and other business knowledge as a part of the sale. This is a hobby business for the current owners, who love craft beer and wanted a place in Yakima to make it available and to showcase different domestic and international craft ales and share a friendly atmosphere for others that enjoy it too. They are selling so they can enter a new phase in life with more free time to pursue other interests. They are physically involved in the business only on a limited part-time basis and have 4 employees that run the day to day operation. The current payroll would allow for a full time owner to step-in and make a healthy income. There is also opportunity for a new owner with more full time involvement to expand on what they already are doing at the Beer Shoppe.
