After collecting information and consulting relevant professionals, talk about how to build this craft brewery!

In theory, starting a winery requires one approval, one license, two assessments, and one permit.

Preliminary work: 1. Project approval, application for project approval, 2. Business license, 3. Environmental protection assessment, 4. Fire protection assessment.

Later work: 1 food production license

According to national regulations, projects that may cause environmental pollution and ecological damage must undergo environmental impact assessment during the feasibility study stage, and then other preliminary procedures can be handled. Therefore, the brewery is no exception. It must conduct environmental impact assessment work before starting construction, and can only apply for a start-up permit after obtaining the approval of the Environmental Protection Bureau.

1. Project approval: The bid for a winery must first obtain the approval of the National Development and Reform Commission, because the National Development and Reform Commission designated the bottling production line with a canning capacity of less than 18,000 bottles per hour in the plan in 2013 as a national eliminated light industry production line, so If you want to obtain approval, you must first consider whether the production capacity of your own production line has reached the national standard. However, the audit standards vary from place to place, it is best to check the local standards. (Guided by national standards and implemented in accordance with local standards.) If the filling capacity cannot meet the national or local standards, it is not absolutely impossible to obtain the "approval report for the declared project".

It is estimated that it is difficult for many people to achieve this output. Response Policy: We do not bottle beer. (we produce barrel beer)

Before asking the EIA unit for quotation, first find out whether there are natural For environmentally sensitive points such as protected areas, water sources, and residential areas, it is sufficient to find out about the project’s investment subject, pre-approval procedures, investment, scale, and craftsmanship.)

9) A series of materials related to rules and regulations to ensure food safety,

10) Personnel requirements: analysts,
