Electric Brewing Co. In Murrieta Hits Real Estate Market

MURRIETA, CA — Looking for an investment opportunity close to home? Electric Brewing Co. in Murrieta is for sale.

According to Kyle Fried CRE Advisory, the asking price is $2,132,500 for the turnkey 4,500-square-foot craftsman-style 10-barrel brewhouse that sits on a .1-acre lot at 41537 Cherry Street.

The price includes the real estate, all the high-end infrastructure and well-appointed decor.

According to the listing, about 60% of Electric Brewing's revenues come from its tasting room, while 40% are derived from distribution in China, Europe, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and domestic wholesale accounts in Arizona, California, and Washington.

Electric Brewing Co. opened in Murrieta on May 17, 2014, with founder Justen Foust behind the controls. In 2017, Southern California Edison highlighted Foust and the brewery for using SCE Time-of-Use and off-peak-hour rates to implement its business strategy.

"We never set out to be an electric brewery," Foust said at the time. "When I got into this, I was a home brewer. I did it in my garage. I started with propane and then natural gas. I converted my home brew system to electric so I could perfect my recipes."

Years were spent perfecting recipes and a solid business model. According to Kyle Fried, all the heavy lifting is done.

"Whether you're scaling an existing portfolio or launching your next concept, this is a rare chance to own a purpose-built brewery with global distribution, a loyal following, and room to grow. Step in and start pouring."
