Re: Conditional Use Brewery
924 Jean Street, Grapevine, Texas
Dear Council members and Commissioners:
Grapevine Craft Brewery, LLC is excited about the opportunity to bring the very first
production microbrewery to Grapevine. We feel that the current winery environment in
Grapevine in conjunction with the gain in popularity of craft beer in North Texas makes
Grapevine a prime market for our microbrewery. Additionally, we have a strong desire
to work with the city in providing yet another attraction to our great community and just
one more reason for people to stop in and visit Grapevine.
At this time, we would ask you to consider our request to:
1. allow a microbrewery use within the "Ll" zoning district.
2. allow for the on- premise manufacturing and storage of alcoholic beverages (beer) as
part of this use request.
3. allow for weekly touring of our facility by the public, specifically once a week on
Saturday afternoons from 11 am to 3pm.
4. allow for the on- premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer) in the form of
free samples during our facility tours.
As a production microbrewery, our primary business and source of revenue is the
wholesale to restaurants and pubs across North Texas of draught beer. We do foresee
canning in the future for sales to grocery store chains and package stores, but will be
draught only at this time. It is important to note that there is no retail, direct sales to
consumers or restaurant part of our business as these activities are not permitted by
Texas state law. So, there would be virtually no public traffic to our microbrewery during
the normal work week.
The brewing process is fairly straight forward and does not require the use of toxic or
potentially harmful chemicals. Beer is made primarily of four main ingredients: grain,
Ow"I
Fops, yeast and water. Beer manufacturing is an organic process where yeast cells
metabolize sugars (starches) to release alcohol and CO. as bi- products. We plan to
employ a 30bbl (barrel) brewhouse with 30bbl and 60bbl fermenter tanks that will give
our facility a maximum capacity of 10,000 bbls/year. It's important to note that
according to our 5 -year growth plan, we will still be under 5,000 bbls of production per
year. The state of Texas legally defines a "microbrewery" as a brewery with less than
75,000 bbls/year of production.
We do not believe that our operations will have any negative impact on our neighbors
and the surrounding area. In fact, we would hope that our improvements to the property
are viewed as a valuable asset to the community and something that would make our
neighbors proud.
It is a very common practice across the United States as well as the state of Texas for a
microbrewery to provide a weekly tour of its facilities to the public. And by and large a
brewery will charge a fee ranging from $5 to $60 for this tour. We are planning a weekly
tour of the brewery open to the public on Saturday afternoons for a $10 fee. That fee
will include entrance into our facilities, a souvenir glass and a 20- minute overview of the
brewing process by one of our brewmasters. While on premise, visitors will be able to
taste free samples of our beers. This is permitted and regulated by the TABC with a
"brewer's permit."
I (Gary Humble, the owner) have been a pastor for the last 15 years. Most recently
was an Executive Pastor at Cross Timbers Church in Argyle, TX and then a pastor on
staff at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX. For many years, I knew that my drive for
entrepreneurship would lead me to start my own business. And for the last two years,
I've been a homebrewer and have come to love the art of making beer. Being a biology
major in college and then a musician in the church, the marriage of science and art in
the process of brewing fit me like a glove. Not to mention, this is a very good time to get
into the craft beer business.
That said, building a brewery is not only about starting a profitable business and making
great beer. For me, it's about operating my business in a manner that makes Grapevine
Craft Brewery a meaningful part of this community. Since starting our LLC in
September, we were already able to partner with GRACE for Thanksgiving and were
on -hand at the food bank. We have also committed to sponsor the Drive Into the Night
golf tournament in March. Beyond that, we plan to partner with organizations that are
making a difference in our community.
My wife and I own a home in Grapevine and have lived here now for four years. It has
been an absolute pleasure getting to meet members of the city staff and council as well
as from the Grapevine Chamber and the Convention and Visitors Bureau. We are very
excited about the opportunity to work with the city and be part of a community that we
love and support.

Thank you for your time and consideration for our request.
