So I've been a homebrewer for a while and like everyone else I have, at one point, said "I want to sell my beer". Well I don't think I have the resources right now to open a full scale 10BBL nano, but I have some pretty serious homebrew equipment and I am converting a detached garage into a home brewery. I would, however, like to sell my beer in kegs to a FEW (maybe 2 or 3) local restaurants. Just for fun and to get my foot in the local beer scene door. Self distributing as well, I live in PA.
I know even this humble goal requires a good amount of $$, but how much and what exactly do I have to do? In other words, what are my biggest expenses going to be and of course, is this idea feasible with, lets say $10k (yes I have 90% of the equipment already).
Do I rezone for light industrial or commercial?
Do I need the same permits/licenses as every other brewery?
Thanks guys!
