Well, we received "approval" from the City's Design Review Committee. Plans will be stamped on Monday! It should be a time for celebration, but it doesn't feel appropriate. There's a long road ahead, including additional plan reviews, public hearings and administrative review, before Good Beer can even think about breaking ground.
I also received a letter from the County Health Department. They provided a list of changes to the plan set in order to make it compliant with their codes. Nothing earth shattering, so it shouldn't be a problem to comply with.
Anyways, we're moving forward with the permitting!
On another note, I'll be up in Julian tomorrow to brew a batch of beer with my brother Bryce at the Julian Brewing Company! Details forthcoming...
