Bill Summary
Under current law, the holder of a limited brewery license is entitled to brew up to 300,000 barrels of 31 fluid gallons capacity per year of malt alcoholic beverages to sell and distribute to wholesalers and retailers. These licensees are authorized to sell their product at retail to consumers on the licensed premises for on-site consumption, but only in connection with a tour of the brewery. Under this bill, consumers would not be required to take a tour of the brewery to purchase beverages for on-site consumption. However, the bill requires the licensee to make tours of the brewery available to consumers during business hours when the brewery is open to the general public and brewing, packaging, or maintenance operations allow for the conducting of a tour.
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the requirement for consumers to take a tour of a limited brewery in order to purchase beverages for on-site consumption. However, the bill mandates that the limited brewery licensee must provide tours of the brewery during business hours when the brewery is open to the public and brewing, packaging, or maintenance operations allow for the tour. The bill maintains the existing provisions that allow limited brewery licensees to brew up to 300,000 barrels of malt alcoholic beverages per year and sell their products at retail to consumers on the licensed premises for consumption on-site or off-site.
