Amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), entitled "An act relating to alcoholic liquors, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto; regulating and restricting the manufacture, purchase, sale, possession, consumption, importation, transportation, furnishing, holding in bond, holding in storage, traffic in and use of alcoholic liquors, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages and the persons engaged or employed therein; defining the powers and duties of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board; providing for the establishment and operation of State liquor stores, for the payment of certain license fees to the respective municipalities and townships, for the abatement of certain nuisances and, in certain cases, for search and seizure without warrant; prescribing penalties and forfeitures; providing for local option, and repealing existing laws," in licenses and regulations and liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for breweries; and, in distilleries, wineries, bonded warehouses, bailees for hire and transporters for hire, further providing for limited distilleries and distilleries.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Liquor Code to allow a single entity to hold and operate both a brewery license and a limited distillery license at the same location. The key provisions include: (1) the areas subject to each license can be delineated and may overlap, (2) only the location used for manufacturing liquor and malt or brewed beverages can be dual-licensed, (3) each license can only operate during the hours permitted under the Act, (4) citations may be issued against one or both licenses, and (5) for on-premise consumption, the location will be considered a single entity for the purpose of the ratios provided under the law. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for breweries and distilleries to operate at the same premises.
