Bill > HB1372

This bill modifies Hawaii's liquor license regulations for small craft producer pub licensees by significantly increasing the annual manufacturing volume limits. Specifically, the bill raises the maximum production limits from 70,000 to 175,000 barrels for malt beverages, from 20,000 to 50,000 barrels for wine, and from 7,500 to 20,000 barrels for alcohol. A "barrel" is defined as a container not exceeding 31 gallons. The bill maintains the existing license provisions that allow these producers to sell their manufactured beverages on-premises, sell to wholesale dealers, sell in sealed containers, and operate satellite locations, while also permitting minors to be present when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian of legal drinking age. The purpose of the bill is to provide small craft producers with greater flexibility and capacity to manufacture and sell their alcoholic beverages. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder date.
