After weeks of prep work, we have finally come to our concrete pour day! Installing new floors slightly angled toward our new trench drains for easy clean-up on brew days.

We received word today that Shadow Puppet has received tentative approval from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Now once we finish construction, they will have a final inspection and then we are 100% official!

Woohoo! Today we received our sign from ABC that officially notifies the community that we have applied for our alcoholic beverage license. Things are moving along nicely.

The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau), which is the federal agency that regulates breweries, has finally approved Shadow Puppet as a production brewery! This is a huge milestone and we are excited to continue with the state and local approvals so that we can start selling our awesome beer!

Here’s a time lapse video of Craig putting together our walk-in cooler that we just bought.

Katie Danielson, using her immeasurable artistic ability, puts down an awesome Shadow Puppet logo on the tasting room floor in chalk. Way to go Katie!

In the early days of Shadow Puppet’s formation, Brian and Craig brought a few very early test beers to the Dr. Homebrew podcast show for evaluation and feedback.
