Can we taste samples of the different beers or wines prior to making our choices?
Unfortunately, the answer is no; we cannot legally serve alcohol. We do have a recipe comparison chart (currently at the brewery and soon to be on-line) that will give you comparisons to commercial beers you might be familiar with for all of our recipes.

How long will my beer stay fresh?
Our beer is not pasteurized and does not contain any preservatives. If you store your beer at room temperature, we recommend drinking it within two months. If you refrigerate it immediately, it should last up to six months.

When I brought my bottles in, I was told they were not clean enough. Doesn’t your machine clean the bottles?
While it may look & sounds like a dishwasher, it is not. It is a bottle sanitizing machine. The bottles that go in must first be clean. If there is residue, mold, or yeast growth in the bottles, the bottles will not be sanitized and will contaminate your beer. Cleaning your bottles is simple if you do it right away. Simply rinse each bottle with hot water three times, shaking the water out each time and storing the bottles upside down in the boxes provided immediately after pouring them into a glass.

Why do you use 22 oz bottles?
We want your experience to be fun. Bottling in 12 oz bottles will take more then twice as long and would become quite tedious. Special arrangements can be made if you have your own 12 oz bottles and can come in during a slow part of the day. This would need to be done when the brewing times are being booked.

Can you brew the beer for me and I’ll stop by and pick it up?
No, Vine Park is a Federally licensed BOP or Brew On Premise. Under this license, only customers can make the beer or wine. When we start commercial production, state law requires that we sell that beer only to a licensed distributor.

What options do I have for labeling my beer?
We have several choices for you. The simplest is marking the caps and it is free. We sell blank label stock that you can design and print your own creative label. (100 labels for $10) We have preprinted labels with our designs for about half of our beer recipes ($20 for 72 labels) . We also work with an outside design & printing company that can print custom labels for you with either our designs or yours. These start at $46.00.
