If you intend to make beer for other than family or personal use, TTB must approve your operations, recipes, beer labels and the like. You have to send in a Brewer’s Notice and a Brewer’s Bond and TTB must approve your operations before you begin to make beer. TTB may initiate an on-site inspection of the proposed premises and operations prior to the issuance of your Brewer’s Notice. Background checks on directors, officers and significant owners are also required. This process typically takes 6-12 months to complete.
