There's a homebrew shop in the greater Sacramento area that does this. It's great. Grab a pint then grab your supplies.
Isn't that the whole point of "A brewery supply store may be on the same premises as a brewery.” ?
They can run a brewery and sell out of the same premises as they supply store.
In fact, I suspect if they were to sell beer produced elsewhere that'd be a whole 'nuther licensing path that this proposal doesn't cover and possibly restricted (in MA each town has a prescribed maximum number of possible liquor outlets, for instance)...
Cheers!
Yes I get the same premises as a brewery , but a brew store doesn't have a license to brew . Maybe I'll stock up an extra room with brew supplies get my buisness license and sale beer that I've made as well . There's no way thats going to be legal .
Depends on where you are at...Like i said we have this already in CT...you need to go through the TTB and all that stuff to legally brew the beer. I'm not quite sure what the big deal is.
That's cool . Here in California it's costly and there's a bunch of red tape and hoops to jump through to get a brewery going.
You know what Jag, I was wrong. Its technically two businesses in that were in the same building and owned by the same guy. The brew supply eventually moved across the street. Not sure what the reason was except for maybe expansion of the brewery. Either way its damn handy to have.Maybe I'm not fully understanding this. I live in California as well. So your telling me a homebrew store can sell beer ?
Looking at it closer it says for consumption elsewhere. I can't see them selling the beer they brewed and bottled .

Which shop is this? I don't live that far away.. might need to check this out! Also, I think this is what another one in Modesto does too that's called Renegade Brewing Supplies. At the same address there is also a Desert Fox Brew Co.There's a homebrew shop in the greater Sacramento area that does this. It's great. Grab a pint then grab your supplies.
Yeah, maybe , no, I don't know. A local Hy-Vee, an Iowa/mid-west grocery chain tried to sell hbs and it didn't last long. In my opinion a hbs has to have somebody that know at least a little bit about brewing and they didn't. That and the prices were higher than any mail order with shipping added. As far as convenience stores, I don't think the profit margin/turnover would be enough to devote floor space to it. Then again pop. density could be a factor also. My 0.02 worth.The unintended side effect that I see with this is that now every 7-11 and grocery store that sells beer can now sell homebrew supplies on the side. What will that do to your LHBS?
There's only 2 places to buy homebrew supplies here in Cleveland. Cleveland Brew Shop, which is a full-service homebrew shop with a small "bottle shop", and Warehouse Beverage, which is essentially a beer and wine store with a small selection of hombrew equipment and ingredients.
