Breweries and distilleries are different in that the alcohol content of beer is significantly less than distilled spirits. That being said, I did a brewery last year and did it as OH2. There was a lot of uncertainty about what was going where (storage excluded). OH2 is a safe bet and I wouldn't contest it unless there is a water supply problem.
