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, which are large containers up to 100 ounces, provided by consumers for retail sale. The bill defines a "growler" as a large glass, bottle, jug, or other container that can hold up to 100 ounces of a malt beverage, and must be purchased from a licensed malt beverage manufacturer or wholesaler. This change to the existing law would allow these types of brewers to offer a more convenient and flexible option for consumers to purchase and transport their craft beer products.
