Bill Summary

Relative to the retail sale of certain malt beverages. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand access to craft beer by allowing farmer brewers and pub brewers to fill empty growlers (large containers up to 100 ounces) provided by consumers for retail sale, as long as the growler was purchased for the purpose of holding malt beverages. The bill amends the existing state laws to permit this practice, which was previously prohibited, providing more flexibility for consumers to purchase and enjoy craft beer directly from the producers.
