Someone asked on a social media post a couple weeks ago and they responded with, "We are working through some code challenges with the city, hoping it will be a few months."

Their head brewer, who was there since the beginning of Trapezium, Beale's and Camp Trapezium, also left last summer so not sure who is doing their brewing now but that probably delayed some things too. I would expect them to probably start out by just sending product up from Petersburg to have on tap and package.

Pretty sure that's the plan, because the site is too small for a full brewery (no room for mega tanks) But for a brewery to be a brewery, I think it's like 20% of product sold has to be manufactured there, so I think the plan is to do some barrel aged varieties, stored, aged and sold onsite .

That's right. Pilot / Satellite taprooms have to brew at least 20% of what they serve on site as I understand it. The rest can come from their other taprooms. I recall seeing a post a while back of them moving for foeders into the space so I expect that will be their 20%. That's pretty much how they operate Camp Trapezium in Amherst County. They do some barrel aging there but majority of the stuff they sell comes from Petersburg.
