Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 23006 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to alcoholic beverages.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "beer" under California's Alcoholic Beverage Control Act to allow for its production using other grains besides barley and malt, and clarifies that the fermentation process must occur in drinkable water. The existing law defines beer as an alcoholic beverage derived from the fermentation of barley, malt, hops, or similar products in water, and this change broadens that scope to include other grains, while also specifying the type of water used and clarifying that the term "beer" does not include sake.
