Bill Summary
Relative to the retail sale of certain malt beverages. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill expands access to craft beer by allowing both "farmer brewers" and "pub brewers" to fill empty "growlers," which are large glass containers, bottles, jugs, or other vessels up to 100 ounces, that consumers bring in for retail sale, provided these growlers were purchased for the purpose of holding malt beverages, which are alcoholic drinks made from grains like barley. This change amends existing laws related to the retail sale of malt beverages, specifically sections 19C and 19D of chapter 138 of the General Laws, and clarifies that these growlers can be purchased from any licensed manufacturer or wholesaler of malt beverages.
