In this lesson, we’re going to build the brewery. This part can get tricky because you’re going to have to loop in contractors, fire marshals, utility companies, and a bunch of tradespeople to complete the job and pass the final inspection. Specifics we discuss along the way include finding and working with an architect; planning for local approvals, impact fees, permits, and contractors; communicating with the fire marshal in advance; knowing the local requirements for sprinkler systems; knowing and planning for utility needs, and taking advantage of utility incentives; choosing a contractor; planning and building in the cooler; and prioritizing external visibility with signage and lighting. Plus, we’ll take you on a tour to show you the how and why of our own brewery layout.
