A microbrewery sells its own beer by the glass and to take home at the brewery, may add tasting room locations, and self-distributes to retailers. The federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first and the city or county must approve the premises. A taproom with a full bar or kitchen adds the restaurant license above.
