Bill > S461

This bill expands the sale of products by farmer breweries and pub brewers in Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows local licensing authorities to issue special licenses to farmer wineries, farmer breweries, and pub breweries to sell their alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for off-premises consumption at certified agricultural events. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining these special licenses, including the need to obtain certification from the Department of Agricultural Resources that the event qualifies as an "agricultural event." The bill also sets limits on the size of samples that can be provided to customers and the fees that can be charged for the special licenses.
