I'm in the final stages of building my brewery and the TTB is telling me that I need a wall separating my tasting area from the brewing area. We have a 3bbl brewery in a small warehouse.
When I said I could put up a half wall, the TTB rep said it has to be taller so someone can't climb over it.
This sounds rediculous. I've never seen this at any small microbreweries. The only separation I have ever seen was a little chain (which apparently doesn't work for the TTB).
I understand that we need to protect the untaxed beer, but does this mandate a wall? I've seen many breweries with either nothing or just a chain. Is there something that I'm missing that can be implemented without me building a wall?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
