In Eschawo (where different laws may apply due to historic situation with Zoigl), Gunter Zimmerman and Anton Heinl explained to me that it was not necessary to employ a braumeister if you were only selling the bier in your own zoiglstube. However, if you wanted to sell it outisde (for example, Gunter runs a kind of nightclub in the old porcelain factory), you had to have to involve a braumeister. What this means exactly and whether you could evade the law on your semantic wording is anyone's guess! As for your dream pub, sounds ok and not a lot different to my ideas when I ran a pub in Bath. But I liked the night times when we had jazz, r & b and folk music, which attracted an interesting clientele. Why is brass verboten? Don't really know, but something to do with hygene laws. I know that around the 1990s, all the antique shops were suddenly full of old brass taps, which make quite a nice decoration, especially if you're a beer nut! Quite why the plastic jobs were better, you'd have to ask a chemist or someone like that. I got quite nostalgic when you mentioned warm flat ale!
