I was looking at a location yesterday and it seemed to be solid. It had enough space for the brewing and a tasting room, it was zoned properly and it even had a little outside beer garden area. One problem: I asked if the building/complex was sprinklered and the owner immediately said no and just backed away. I didn't know this but they are extremely expensive (10s of thousands) to install sprinklers from scratch due to the cost of the risers/pumps to run it to the building.
It is possible to have the brewery and tasting room without the sprinklers? Could the walls/windows be covered in something that would work? Where should I start to ask the question: city, county and/or state?
I will be operating a 2BBL brewhouse/tasting room in San Mateo County, California if that information is helpful.
Thanks!
