Dorrance: That was regarding finishing the liquor license, so that was successful after <br />a long time. It did hold us up financially and that's why in order to brew, we just <br />honestly don't have the funds yet for the new brewery facility. We're basically going to <br />build a new site and we are applying for that, but we have two years to build that or get <br />an extension. In the meantime, and I know it's very new for the County but our <br />Craft 898, the Class 18 does allow for a second location. Paul had the wonderful idea <br />of using the Blue Dragon for a very small pilot system to start testing the recipes and <br />maybe even re -open as a taproom with some bar food to go along with that. <br />Takase: As a Class 18 Licensee, they are allowed to open one additional site at <br />another location which is what they're choosing to do. Although it's currently two <br />separate licenses, they are the owners of Blue Dragon as well. If approved, they will <br />transfer this license to that second location. They will be giving up the Blue Dragon <br />license. <br />Dorrance: Yes, but only after all the other Departments sign off. <br />Takase: Yes. They don't want to get stuck. <br />Dorrance: It's the DOH, Building and Planning we'll have to go through. <br />Takase: Yes. We would allow them to operate a second location under this license as <br />well. <br />Taniguchi: So everything will be at Blue Dragon? <br />Takase: For now. Your restaurant is in operation already, right? <br />Dorrance: It would actually be two restaurants but only the Blue Dragon would start <br />brewing. We're already under operation at the Hub Pub. We serve breakfast, lunch <br />and dinner and we are able to sell beer, wine and spirits. We just don't have our own <br />beer to serve yet. <br />Taniguchi: But they're not going to bring the Blue Dragon beer to the Hub Pub? <br />Takase: They can. <br />Dorrance: Eventually. Or we could also eventually brew there. <br />Takase: They can take it now. <br />Dorrance: As a brewery under Class 18, you are allowed to distribute whether that's <br />island wide or just to another restaurant. That's my understanding. It would basically <br />be to test recipes; start serving if and as we can get the business up and running again. <br />I'd like to serve food because I don't want people just drinking. In that location, <br />everybody has to drive there, so we'll still be conscious of the hours. It's going well so <br />far, too, at the Hub Pub. <br />Masuda: Commissioners, any questions? <br />FEBRUARY 1, 2018 -LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 15 <br />
