Bill > SB6346

This bill proposes to amend existing state law to create a new type of special permit for beer manufacturers, allowing them to hold private events where they can offer tastings and sell their own beer. This new provision, which would be added as subsection (15) to an existing law that outlines various special permits, would permit a beer manufacturer to apply for a permit for an event not open to the general public, to be held at a specific location on a specific date, for the purpose of tasting and selling beer they produced. The bill specifies that the manufacturer would need to obtain this permit for a fee of ten dollars per event, and the application must be submitted in advance, with the permit being prominently displayed during the event. This new permit would be in addition to existing provisions that allow for similar private tasting and sales events for distilleries and wineries.
