You forgot local council approval. Sometimes you can get away with it being defined as a home based business with some councils not needing development approval, but every local government is different.
One of the biggest problems is your neighbours won't want a brewery next to them , as they will argue it will lower their property
value, increase traffic, increase noise and smells, trucks won't have room and cars won't have parking, you would be lucky to get it through.
Then there's the waste water management problem. We have a business in a residential area and had to spend $ 90000 to widen the road
and provide parking in the front of the property.

Hence going through home based business, if it is allowable under the planning scheme/controls they can't argue. Generally there are limits on number of vehicles, size of vehicles, number of deliveries, size of the business compared to the residence, etc. if you go over this then they can condition you for things such as the road widening and parking. Waste management only triggers at certain levels too. Full blown business in a residential area is conditioned hard, best move to industrial area once you get to a decent size.

Although I'm one of those hated town planners by day.
