Bill > S1279

Introduced Session

This bill permits certain breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, and meaderies to coordinate food service with certain third-party vendors and operate a restaurant on the licensed premises. Under current law, the holder of a limited brewery license or a craft distillery license is prohibited from selling food or operating a restaurant on the licensed premises. Current law also prohibits the holder of a cidery and meadery license from operating a restaurant on the licensed premises. The provisions of this bill provide that the holder of a limited brewery license, plenary winery license, farm winery license, craft distillery license, or cidery and meadery license may operate a restaurant on the licensed premises or enter into an exclusive business arrangement or otherwise coordinate with a third-party food truck, restaurant, or similar retail food vendor to provide food directly to consumers on the licensed premises. The bill removes the prohibition on the operation of a restaurant on the licensed premises by the holder of a limited brewery license, craft distillery license, or a cidery and meadery license.
