Bill > H478

This bill modifies Section 19D of Chapter 138 of the Massachusetts General Laws regarding the sales capabilities of pub breweries (small-scale breweries). The bill expands the ways pub breweries can sell their malt beverages, including: selling wholesale to licensed wholesalers and importers; selling wholesale in kegs, casks, barrels, or bottles to various types of licensees (with an annual sales limit of 50,000 gallons); selling wholesale to churches, educational institutions, hospitals, and manufacturers; selling retail by the bottle to consumers for off-premise consumption; selling wholesale to entities in states or territories where such sales are legal; and selling wholesale to entities in foreign countries. The legislation essentially provides pub breweries with more flexible sales options across different markets and customer types, while maintaining certain regulatory constraints to ensure responsible distribution of their malt beverages.
