The month of January brought a significant milestone for me. Mill Road Craft Brewing is now a licensed LLC in the state of Virginia. Virginia actually makes this step pretty easy and its all on-line at the State Corporation website. For $100 you can apply for licensing and get your Articles of Organization and LLC Certificate at the end of the process. As of January 10, 2012, Mill Road Craft Brewing LLC is official.
Since I was on a roll, I went to the Department of Treasury website (located here) to file for by EIN online; a few clicks and minutes later I had an EIN and now can pay taxes (YIPEEE) and open a small business bank account.
So now Mill Road Craft Brewing (MRCB) has a domain name, facebook presence, drink coasters (from Canada Coaster), Articles of Organization, EIN, and Bank Account. In the next couple months I will be ordering new brewing equipment for my pilot system, updating my fermentation chamber and start brewing and giving away some beer to build up the buzz.
In the meantime I continue to Home Brew, share with my friends, and submit my favorites to competitions all across the US. I've had a few judging successes and am learning from the feedback. I'd also like to thank the many home and nano-brewers across the country that have shared information through boards, blogs, and websites, especially Hess Brewing.
