AI Summary
This bill expands the sale of products by farmer breweries, pub breweries, and farmer distilleries. It allows these businesses to obtain a special license from local licensing authorities to sell their alcoholic beverages, including wine, malt beverages, and distilled products, at certified agricultural events such as farmers' markets and agricultural fairs. The bill sets forth the requirements for these special licenses, including the need for the event to be certified by the Department of Agricultural Resources as an "agricultural event."
