So I made a few brews with a bottle and carboy, success.
I bought a nanobrew system, still working it.
My specific question comes into play on the 'business/legal' side of things. I understand that I cannot sell from my garage, but can I take 'donations'? Can I give it away and sell T-shirts and mugs?
Also, can a microbrewery sell beer on premise? This question comes from "a guy that talked to another guy" that was telling me what to do, who said that a microbrewery cannot sell beer on premise, and that it must sell 'its beer' to another 'entity' in order to sell the beer on site. I.e., the microbrew sells to the restaurant (both owned by the same person, both under the same roof, but two legal entities) in order for it to be legal per federal guidelines.
Is this true? Is this partially true? I can't find anything that clearly defines the situation and have spent a good amount of time online digging around empty handed, hence, I am offering up the question to the well versed masters (you all) in all things legal and artisan in brewing.
Much appreciated, thanks in advance. For reference, I'm in Colorado.
