Bill > S00315

This bill establishes a temporary New York craft beverage permit that allows licensed New York state farm distilleries, breweries, wineries, cideries, and meaderies to obtain a special 24-hour permit to sell their locally manufactured alcoholic beverages at outdoor or indoor events in municipalities with populations under one million people. The permit costs $50 and enables these craft beverage producers to sell their liquor, spirits, wine, beer, cider, and mead during the same hours that local licensed retail establishments are permitted to serve alcohol. Permit holders must prominently display their state farm production permit at the event and comply with liquor authority regulations. This legislation aims to support local craft beverage producers by giving them more opportunities to sell and showcase their products at community events, potentially helping to boost local agricultural and beverage businesses in smaller New York municipalities.
