Nice idea, pursue what you love and all that.
The biggest problem though is that there is plently of others that want to do the same thing. Competition drives the margins low, volumes are low, sales sporadic. The business plan is a bit murky, sorry to say.
If you are keen on the idea, start it up as a sideline business, keep your overhead low and let it organically grow without the burden of it having to support you. That way at least the business has a fighting chance of success. You can be certain, that if it actually becomes successful after a few years of hard work, it will pull you into it full time. In the meantime, some boring work to pay the bills will keep the pints full.
