TyWebb Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have a friend who has a brewery who asked me to start a distillery in his building with him. Does anyone have any experience obtaining a DSP under these circumstances? Any recommendations? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telluride Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 If i remember correctly you need to separate the two spaces. Personally i would just try to rent the space next to him. We are next to a brewery, although we dont use any beer from them, its nice because people stop by both places when they go to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telluride Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think in a distillery class i took they said a chain link fence worked to separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewnspirits Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 We share a building with a brewery and installed a wall between the two operations. Most of the time, it's a nice symbiotic thing. We have two different addresses as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salishseaorganicliqueurs Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 TTB will require a full demising wall and if by some fluke they don't your local state or municipal officials most likely will. It caused us to scrap a perfect location with a tasting room located inside a large casino. We were going to share the far corner of a 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse attached to a tobacco plant owned by the same local tribe. The TTB wanted a full insulated demising wall with separate utilities and address from us. Would have cost nearly $250,000 just to meet those few requirements. They don't want their taxes getting mixed up in any way. Luckily, we ended up next to a winery about 20 minutes away from there and just a mile down the road from a new casino complex being built.

Skaalvenn Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If memory serves me right there's a distillery/brewery here in Minnesota which is separated by a chain link fence. I haven't been there in person so I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission5 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ballast Point in San Diego has/had their distillery inside their brewery separated by chain link fence a year or two back when I visited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedgeBird Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I lease space in my building to a brewery that operates next to my DSP. Our spaces are separated by a wall and we each have our own production equipment so no product ever moves between the two spaces. They use my steam boiler to fire their kettle and I will be using their glycol chiller. Physical separation of the spaces is needed. I believe there is also an option to "share" some of the space/production equipment by using an alternating premises, but it sounds complicated. Previous threads on this topic include some info on the alternating premises option: http://adiforums.com/index.php?showtopic=3851 http://adiforums.com/index.php?showtopic=2072 http://adiforums.com/index.php?showtopic=882 http://adiforums.com/index.php?showtopic=86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
