So, does anyone know if it's illegal to outsource your homebrewing allotment (200 gallons/household/year, I believe, or something like that)? I was sitting around with some friends the other day and it occurred to me that while I have next to no interest starting a brewery, it would be pretty awesome to be hired by some multimillionaire to be his personal brewer. I don't know any such multimillionaires, but there must be some out there somewhere. If people have personal chefs, personal assistants, and all the rest, why not a personal brewer?
Despite being a lawyer, I have not looked into this issue at all, and know very little about the nuances of brewing laws. I'm sure I could spend some time digging around and find an answer, but I don't really have that time right now.
Obviously in this hypothetical, fantasy world, the multimillionaire could just hire a lawyer to get a license for his brewer, if it were necessary, but I'm still curious about the underlying question of whether someone can pay someone else to brew his annual allotment. If so, seems like a gaping loophole someone should be walking through.
