Tanks are on the Way

It's been a hectic week. Met with the city to get our business plan going. We have approval for the brewery, but have to wait until Conditional Use Permit approval to be able to begin our Tasting Hours. Basically you can operate a brewery without a CUP if all you are going to do is brew beer on premise and ship (or deliver) it to the end customer. It is when you want to let the public into your building and produce on-site sales that you must adhere to what the city permits. Our comment letter from the city regarding our CUP application is set to be in our hands on the 15th of this month.
So we have a Business License for the City of Anaheim, but now are awaiting our TTB inspection, as well as, ABC approval for the type 23 Small Beer Manufacture License.
We transferred utilities this week (lots of deposit...not cheap). Met with our General Contractor to further discuss the layout of the brewery. Our system is beginning to ship tomorrow. The picture above shows our Mash Tun, Brew Kettle, 4-15bbl Bright Tanks, Mill and 12oz Bottling line. The rest of the package will be in Anaheim either Friday or Saturday. We are excited to finally see the system leave a warehouse in Roseville and head it's way down to it's new home very close the Angel's Stadium and the Honda Center.
