Bill > S1078

This bill amends and adds to existing law to authorize contract brewing in certain instances and to provide certain requirements for a contractee brewer and a contractor brewer. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It defines "contractee brewer" as a brewer producing fewer than 30,000 barrels of beer annually, including any beer manufactured outside Idaho, that enters into a contractual relationship with another brewer to produce beer on the contractee's behalf. 2. It defines "contractor brewer" as a brewer producing fewer than 30,000 barrels of beer annually, including any beer manufactured outside Idaho, that enters into a contractual relationship with a contractee brewer to produce beer for the contractee brewer on the contractor brewer's licensed premises. 3. It allows a contractee brewer to enter into a contractual relationship with a contractor brewer to contractually produce beer for the contractee brewer, to the extent allowed by federal law. 4. It requires the contractee brewer and the contractor brewer to be separately licensed and separately owned. Beer brewed for a contractee brewer shall count toward the contractee brewer's annual barrels produced, and not the contractor brewer's. Each brewer shall be separately and distinctly responsible for compliance with the provisions of the law.
