The Trap: Storage Fee Clauses Bleed Your Profits
Landlords bury costly storage fees in taproom leases—for keg space, cold storage, or inventory. These clauses are often vague, unexpected, and non-negotiable until it's too late.
- Vague language like 'additional storage charges' with no caps or definitions
- Fees for spaces you assumed were included in the base rent
- Automatic annual increases buried in miscellaneous sections
- Penalties for using 'excessive' storage space you didn't know was metered

Brewery Owners Who Avoided Costly Surprises
"Our lease had a 'cold storage surcharge' clause that would've cost us $18k/year. Legal Shell AI flagged it, and we got it removed before signing."
"Thought our 'included storage' was solid. The AI found a footnote charging $2/sq ft for any kegs over a vague 'reasonable' limit. Renegotiated that away."
"As a new brewery, we almost signed a lease with automatic 15% annual storage fee increases. This tool saved us before it was too late."
