The Dawsonville Moonshine Distillery received the final stamp of approval to begin producing and manufacturing moonshine on July 20.The long-awaited approval from state inspectors followed the approval of the federal and local agents.Owner Cheryl Wood, who began leasing the space for the distillery in June 2011, said she was glad all the inspections are complete.“We are testing equipment now that we have the green light from the state. We will be in production in August,” she said on Monday.On Friday, Wood signed for a loan for more than $107,000 through the Dawsonville Downtown Development Authority.The loan came from The Georgia Cities Foundation, a nonprofit subsidiary of the Georgia Municipal Association that aims to assist cities’ efforts to revitalize and enhance downtown areas.According to attorney Wendy Kraby, who served as the legal adviser, the loan is set to go toward operational equipment, including a 250-gallon copper still, two 415-gallon stainless steel mash tanks, a 1,050-gallon stainless steel mash tank and more.“My understanding is the money is going to pay for operating equipment the distillery has already purchased,” she said.The distillery, which is contractually named “Free Spirits Distillery, LLC,” has 10 years to pay off the loan through monthly payments, according to the contract. The interest rate is below market.
