Bill Summary

This act would allow for the holder of a manufacturer’s license to be able to sell one one- sixth (1/6) barrel keg of malt beverage, produced on the premises, per day. This act would take effect upon passage.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the existing manufacturer's license regulations for breweries in Rhode Island by allowing licensed manufacturers to sell one one-sixth (1/6) barrel keg of malt beverage, produced on their own premises, per day to visitors for off-premises consumption. Currently, manufacturers can sell up to forty-eight 12-ounce or 16-ounce bottles or cans of malt beverages per visitor per day, and this bill adds the option of selling an additional one-sixth barrel keg. The bill does not change other existing restrictions, such as the requirement that beverages sold for off-premises consumption must be in sealed containers and sold pursuant to retail Class A establishment laws. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, providing an additional sales option for small breweries and manufacturers to sell their products directly to visitors.
