I started my full time company with a dirty cloth and a glass cleaner.
Today I have my own real state company, initial capital = under 5€
We (company) do real state management, cleaning (I have my own personal, including company cars), laundry (I bought myself a industrial laundry from a company that open bankrupt), check-ins and outs, gardens, pools, maintenance, painting etc.
The point here is to show that its possible to start a profitable offline business without huge initial investment.

Hardwork. Doesn't matter the investment capital, hardwork will make the difference

This. Find "gaps" and make use of them
Tons of businesses can be started under $5k. A few of the easiest/cheapest off the top of my head:
- Dryer vent cleaning. Around here $75-100/home and each one takes 10 minutes. In a dense suburb with good route planning 10-20 in a day is not unreasonable.
- Landscaping. Competitive and hard work, but very in demand. Assuming you already have a truck, a small mow-and-go setup can be found for a couple hundred bucks used. Even a beater truck could fit into that budget if you wanted to.
- Food. Especially if you have farmers markets in your area, these are a great start to get exposure and turn a profit from the beginning.

I like this vent cleaning idea, but I am worried about now that covid is demanding reduction in the amount of human interaction, not to mention companies having to stop certain home services due to it. How would you suggest a way to put people at ease to allow you to get in their home?
I'd argue the exact opposite. At least in the US, home services are in extremely high demand right now with people spending more time at home and doing more home improvement projects. Wear a mask & gloves, sanitize equipment after each house, offer temperature checks, and offer contactless payments. With winter coming up, add chimney cleaning to the list. Offer a "fire safety cleaning package".

I started my offline business 5 years ago before moving into IM. It was a clothing store, started with $250.
$5,000 is very good startup capital. And mini brewery is a good business. With nice branding and solid customer service you could turn it into a million dollar business in a couple of years. Pair that with your internet marketing skills, you could reach that figure in a year too - very much possible.
All the best bud. DM me a picture of your brewery on the launch day
