Application for a licence to brew on premises

These instructions will help you complete your Application for a licence to brew on premises (NAT 5904, PDF, 356KB).

When to use this application

Use this application to apply for an excise licence to provide commercial facilities or equipment to the public, for the production of beer for non-commercial purposes.

Licensed premises of this type are commonly called 'BOPS' (brew on premises shops). The public can use these facilities and equipment to make their own beer.

You must be licensed before you undertake the above activity. If you already hold an excise licence for a different activity, you must complete a new application for all additional activities.

If you are applying for a licence for the first time, or for a different licence type, contact us to discuss your circumstances before completing your application.
