5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for knowing what issues to be aware of if planning a brewery
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2020

I was highly impressed with how well written this book was overall. The author does a great job of clearly walking you through the different issues that you need to think about. Law is something more complicated than most topics, but he made it more clear and simple than you often find in other books on simpler topics. He seems to have a real gift for just breaking things down so he can get you from step to step.

The book is not going to set you up to handle everything on your own, so don't expect that (you'd need a significantly larger book), but it'll let you know what issues you need to think about when starting or operating a brewery so you can dive in further. It also helps in determining when a lawyer or other expert (e.g., CPA) might be beneficial versus when it's not really necessary.

There are times when you can tell it didn't go through a major publisher. Some sections are repeated later in the book, as if he was drafting it in one area, moved it to another, and accidentally left it in the previous spot. Sometimes it actually helps with drilling in an idea, but other times it looks like a bit of a mistake. Regardless, it's a minor issue and doesn't offset the major benefits of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good book.

Highly recommended book if you are an aspiring brewer. First, you'll realize there are a lot of legal things to consider other than TTB and State laws. You'll also get your eyes opened and dreams dashed when you find out some things are just not allowed. It will save you heartache and money in the end. If you're in the planning or dreaming stage, you have to have this book. There are many books on opening a brewery, but none really go as in-depth with legal information. I now have 5 books that I reference frequently during my planning and this is the only one written by a lawyer who specializes in brewery law. Spend a little money now on this book, or waste a lot later.

My other recommendations:
Brewery Operations Manual by Tom Hennessy
Colorado Boy Brewery SOP by Tom Hennessy
Starting Your Own Brewery by Dick Cantwell

Basic law book applied to the beer industry. Lacks a bit in specifics for every application. Compliance issues are an ever changing target, so don't expect this to apply to every locality.

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020
As a homebrewer who aspires to turn pro someday, this was a great read. It really illustrates the landscape that one would need to navigate to successfully open and operate a craft brewery. As someone without a law degree, the legal issues were concisely explained and easy to understand. If you’re wanting to go pro, this book is a must read!
