No legal issues. It's not Homebrewer selling unlike that ejit in Cork who was selling but disappeared.
The Homebrewer provides the recipe to the contract brewer or brewery and it's scaled up and brewing process overseen by Homebrewer.
Must be a nice warm feeling to be drinking your own beer with your peers in a public bar.

That's legal if the contract brewery are the ones delivering and charging for the beer though. Need to set yourself up with revenue if you want to it yourself.

Sure if you brew in a commercial set up then all is legal as the brewer is charging you for producing the beer and has to add on the excise duty and VAT too. :(

But when you go to sell it you'll need a distributors license will you not?

@DaMun You know ginger has medicinal properties!

Well done to Declan and Alex.  We were impressed with the beer and Emma doesn't  even like coffee.

Alcohol is a good steriliser but not in the baby making department. I don't know why I put that in but sure
