Eu começava por conviver um bocado com o pessoal da cerveja para conhecer mais sobre cerveja, trocar impressões e umas dicas em pessoa.
No Porto:
Em Lisboa:
Aposto que há mais locais no resto do país mas, assim de cabeça, vieram-me estes... Outra boa opção é visitar festivais onde podes conhecer os cervejeiros, aficionados, ouvir musica, beber cerveja e conviver!
Depois disso é simples. Começa por fazer cerveja de kit de extrato. Com jeitinho gastas uns €50 em equipamento (que vai servir-te anos) e €15 em ingredientes. Estes kits são mesmo simples de usar e servem bem para aprender algumas das bases da cerveja sem teres que te preocupar com os aspetos mais delicados (como a brassagem). À medida que lhe vais ganhando o gosto vais podendo investir mais ou menos dinheiro até comprares um moinho, algumas panelas e fazeres a cerveja mesmo a partir do cereal.
A partir daí o google e o youtube são amigos dependendo de quanto queres ou não gastar. Tens aqui alguns vídeos que te recomendo:
Estes dois são bons para "entrar no espírito" da coisa.
Para aprender a fazer cerveja a partir de Kit podes ver estes vídeos da BrewUk (boa loja) que mostram tudo direitinho. Lembra-te que o mais importante é a higiene e lavar bem todo o equipamento!!
No youtube recomendo-te muito o canal Brewing TV e o The Craft Beer Channel.
Se te começares a envolver e a gostar a sério da coisa recomendo-te que leias estes livros:
Um livro que a mim me ajudou também imenso foi o Extreme Brewing e o Brewing Up a Business do Sam Calagione (dono da Dogfish Head) se bem que estes dois livros são menos "informativos" e de leitura mais leve. Ainda assim eu acho que o estilo mais relaxado torna-os de leitura mais fácil que os outros (que são considerados bíblias da cerveja) sobretudo para quem está a começar.
Fora isso acredita, o importante é comer e beber cerveja! Conversa com o pessoal e divertir-te com isto tudo! Aprendes mais às vezes numa tarde a beber uns finos com o pessoal num bar de cerveja artesanal do que num dia a ler em casa!
Espero que isto te ajude a ti ou alguém que esteja com a "pulga" atrás da orelha! Mas se tiveres perguntas ou dúvidas estás à vontade. :)
Se alguém quiser acrescentar alguma coisa por favor que o faça! Cerveja artesanal é sobre troca de ideias! :)

Sam Calagione is very business-savvy, always had been. Hell, he wrote a book about how to run a successful business.
The "arty" image is in part truth and in part PR. He has famously lobbied lawmakers to change laws in his favor when he launched the brewery (and still does), secured investors to help grow his business, learned the art of contract negotiation, gets into trademark disputes to protect his business (he says that DFH spent more enforcing their trademark in 2013 than they spent launching the business in 1995), and more.
Anyone who think he's not just as in tune with how to run a business as any other savvy businessman is fooling themselves. That man knows his stuff. He wouldn't be where he is if he didn't.

Brewing up a Business by Dogfish Head Founder Sam Calagione
If this is something you are interested in, consider checking out Brewing Up a Business and Beer School which talk about the business aspect of the beer industry.
Also, take a listen to this panel discussion with some brewery owners

I haven't really looked into this because I am still learning about making beer. Once I start receiving good feedback on my beer from homebrew competitions (which I don't plan to enter for a while), I will need to research the legality of having a brewpup in the MD/VA/DC area. One has to jump though quite a lot of hoops to get approval for this type of thing.
You should watch this and also consider reading Sam Calagione's book Brewing Up a Business.
If brewing is something you really love just ask yourself it you'll get the same enjoyment from it when you have to do it. If so, go for it.
I read something recently that might resonate - "In a years time would you wish you started today".
What sort of size are you looking at?
The 200l Braumeister pilot system may be an option but it is €10k+
Have you read any books on the subject e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Brewing-Up-Business-Adventures-Founder/dp/0470942312
I'd attend this 20 week program: https://www.siebelinstitute.com/education/certificate-studies/master-brewer-program/
and then work for a craft brewery of the size you are interested in emulating and learn from the best until you can earn the capital to start on your own. Also read http://www.amazon.com/Brewing-Up-Business-Adventures-Founder/dp/0470942312/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 by the founder of Dogfish Head Brewery
