Thanks all. Very helpful. I will be back as my diligence continues.

So, this is not like buying a liquor license, which can run into the tens of thousands depending upon your location? Thank you for the replies, by the way. Matt

I am beginning the process of exploring costs of getting the licenses, federal and CA state, and am having trouble getting concrete information about the general costs. Has anyone set up a craft/artisanal distillery in CA (will be in SoCal) who can give me a rough estimate of fed. and state licensing costs? Just need a ballpark. Thanks, Matt
