A microbrewer brews at a single location, up to 12,500 barrels a year, and sells it at retail there on the Class A permit; it may not wholesale, so distribution goes through a licensed wholesaler. A brewer permit is the production route, with taproom sales of its own beer within the limits in Title 26 and self-distribution only under 5,000 barrels. The federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first and the parish or city must approve the premises.
