I’m sure everyone that is old to enough to ride a bicycle has been subjected to the overused cliche that patience is a virtue dozens, if not hundreds of times.  During the last 3 months of 2011 I got a chance to test this time honored theory out.  My hiatus from this blog during the holiday season was indeed intentional, as I did not want to burden you with the tedious details about the roadblocks we were dealing with trying to get this brewery going.  Now that we have entered the new year, allow me to make amends and give you the scoop.

I know I mentioned our search for a new location the last time around and the ironic part is that we decided to give it one more try at the original spot.  Our two major issues were the existing septic system shared by the business complex and the inability to sell pints out of that building due to zoning restrictions.  Thanks to the wonderful people at the county office, our wastewater consultant and a coffee shop in downtown Mariposa going out of business, those problems have been solved!  We now have an approved permit for our own leach field and a perfect space to convert into taproom.
