Hi all,
As the title implies I have a meeting tomorrow with the head of tourism and economic development and the head of the planning division in my county (haldimand county Ontario) to discuss building and opening a nano brewery on my property. As far as I can find out I would be the first craft brewery within the county, which could be a huge selling factor when looking for capital.
The Plan: The plan is to build a small brewery (less than or equal to 3.5bbm) and taproom on my property and eventually build up and expand to a secondary location (10+ bbm) while keeping this first one as a small batch and test brew facility in time. My property is a 2.1 acre property so space is not an issue, however the biggest issue I feel I face is a lack of municipal water supply. There are ways to deal with this but I don't know if its worth it or if I should just look at other possible venues.
This whole idea is in the initial phases, by that I mean I have an idea on paper, a name and possible logo and that's it. I will be starting to develop a business plan as soon as I feel I've gathered all the necessary information.
Anyways any input from you guys and gals out there as to questions I should be asking them (ie. zoning, health code, business grants and developments etc.) would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful.
