This is just too cool. It looks like another excuse to move to Minnesota. Tim, you might need to start looking for that lake house.

Michigan enacted a similar law a few months ago. My brother-in-law started a "nanobrewery" and has already started selling. What a great way to finance the hobby.

Dang. I have checked Iowa laws with an attorney. You can brew where it is not against zoning and if you have a separate facility from your residence. You could use a basement if you maintained it separate from your residence. It would be a huge pain to do it that way. Business items and personal items have to be stored completely separate among other things. Sounds like Randy has the right place with a pole building in the county.

Looks like it is time to get a lawnmower shed build, then I can sell!

That could work but you still need clearence from the ATF, approval from the city council, rezoning for commercial, and money.
