True. There should be no rules for any business.
Why?
Did you sell that beer to someone?For those of you that are appalled at this, what is the problem with it? Is smoke going to get into the beer? Ashes? I'll bet there are a lot things worse than the ash from a cigarette that get into the mash tun and I doubt that there is a health issue. Are you just butthurt because, Smoking!
I had a very large cigar ash fall in one of my IPAs one time. I'm pretty sure that it didn't affect it and nobody complained...
Social media may impact their beer sales. The jury is still out on that.
I remember the difference with which I sanitized pacifiers that hit the floor of my first two sons. The first was boiled, cooled, then returned. The second one was swiped through my mouth, wiped on my shirt, then stuck back in his mouth. Both kids came out OK.
It is bad PR for both me and the Brewer, but I wasn't selling a product...
Fair enough​, but let's be realistic. From what I'm gathering it's a small Brewer with a couple guys who probably had a few beers in them.
Pretty sure the guys aren't top paid guys, not so much an excuse as it is a chance for the brewer to remedy the situation.
We don't have to draw the line, the brewery did that for us, now it's up to the consumer to decide what fits their needs. I find it irrational to tell someone how to run their business.
Pretty sure you can't smoke while making hot dogs either.
This about if it's gross.
I agree. I own a restaurant, and I'm sick of "The Man" telling me what temperature I have to keep my walk-in at, or demanding that I store my cooked meat separate from my raw meat, or making me wash my hands so often, or insisting that I throw meat away just because it's older than some arbitrary date some egghead in a lab cooked up. Smells fine to me! And the customers aren't complaining.

Kombat I surely understand that health inspectors can be a royal PITA...
What is your restaurant? If I ever visit Ottawa I will be sure that I don't eat there...
I know a guy who owns a restaurant and makes this argument sincerely. "I don't keep my kitchen clean because of government regulation. I keep it clean because if people get food poisoning, they won't come back. We should repeal all food regulation. It would put my competitors who are doing the bare minimum out of business."I agree.

I have to believe the only people in this thread who are OK with this are also smokers.
Anyone thinking this is OK and no big deal is either a smoker or just plain crazy.
Just playing the devil's advocate, there is some evidence to suggest that grilling and smoking meats is also carcinogenic...According to the CDC,health effects of second hand smoke on people are detrimental. Why? Well, the chemicals in the product are carcinogenic and contain many poisons in the product in unhealthy quantities (this is why the smoking/grilling reference is pure ignorance).
Go see how hotdogs are made......the last thing you'll think about is cigarette smoke

Well, the chemicals in the product are carcinogenic and contain many poisons in the product in unhealthy quantities (this is why the smoking/grilling reference is pure ignorance). I certainly don't want to have myself or my family using or around the products. Why would I want it around something that I am putting in my body?
As for the company's rights, it should be able to do what it pleases. The government has overstepped many lines on that front. I hate nanny state politics, but this isn't a question if what SHOULD we legislate. It's a matter of what is healthiest. So stop the ignorant comments please.
There's another line that needs to be drawn by those mocking people taking my position: there's a difference between neglect and incident. Neglect is the product of leaving leaving or promoting an uncaring state of affairs that promotes or permits an unhealthy environment. I believe the brewpubs should be permitted to choose what their practices are, but I believe it should be legislatively mandatory to publicly post their practices so the costumers may choose if they are going to support the business. Post your practices/manufacturing rules in the brewpub and let the money choose.
I wouldn't come back and I would file a report to the USDA/BBB.
I need a guy who worked at a local brewery (i know longer live in the area) who quit because one day they found a rat in a fermentation vessel, knew about it, packaged and shipped it out. A rat. Post boil. Thats disgusting
Just curious how many employees the brewery has. I read a not-wholly-trustworthy source online that said Tennessee allows businesses with 3 or fewer employees to allow smoking in areas not accessible to the public. Still not sure that would make this legal, presuming they'd still be covered under food prep laws, but it could at least introduce a little legal ambiguity. Is this some 3-man-shop nanobrewery?
