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.

“Tentative” Approval from ABC Department!
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!
ABC Application Notice received and placed on front of brewery
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.
Federal Approval Received!
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!

1st Shadow Puppet Tasting Panel!
We conducted our first tasting panel with members of the local Mad Zymurgists and DOZE brewing clubs, as well as family and friends. Over 40 generous people contributed several hours of their time to taste 2 different styles of beer (a traditional Amber, and our take on a Hoppy Amber.) With 11 total experimental beers to taste, our tasting panel was quite busy with their tastings.
