Homebrew Wedding

I'm still waiting for the day it helps ,,

 

Anything you give them in ingredient costs is likely just going to come back to you in the wedding card. If they are brewing a considerable amount for the event, I would ask them to just consider the beer the wedding gift and call it a day.

 

Yeah, I'm all for buying them the ingredients, but if not, this is a nice approach. I brewed a beer for a wedding last year and just made it my gift to the bride and groom.

 

The beer isnt for sale. Hes reimbursing them the cost. No different then me getting a 6 pack for you and you throwing me the cost plus maybe some gas money.

 

It's no different than that? Okay, thanks.

 

A gift of your choosing whether that gift is cash or something else is of your choosing.
I see nothing illegal about that.

 

Not sure if/why sarcastic. Wasnt addressing you specifically. Obviously its just my opinion.

 

Homebrew is walking on thin ice according to some...profit (or anything that alludes to profit) is a big no-no unless you have inner connections @ the IRS ...just kidding PAC boosters

Kinda like keeping kegs and making keggles out of them.

Cheers, brother...and nice avatar

 

OK.

Name three.

Sorry, that's four. But those are the ones where I happen to know people. I'm guessing there's more.

 

Any so-called business selling products for the material cost of the product is not a business.

 

Even if that were a given, how does that relate to the words in the federal homebrew statute? Or all of the state statutes that require licenses to sell beer? If you can connect the legal dots to show that trading beer for money does not constitute a sale if not done for profit, I'll buy it.

I personally don't think there's anything ethically wrong or immoral about brewing a bunch of beer for a wedding and being reimbursed for ingredients. But ethical <> legal.

 

I find this thread fairly ridiculous, but I'll say this: It would be cool if the OP were to go to his friends and say "I don't want a wedding gift. Instead, would you consider brewing/serving a batch of your awesome beer at my wedding?"

As a guy, with guy friends, I'm always struggling to find a wedding gift that is more for my friend, and not some silly china or towels. What better than beer?
