Title
Wine and beer festivals authorized, licensed by ABC Board, allow retail sale of wine and beer by manufacturers, Sec. 28-3A-20.3 added.
Description

Under existing law, a winery or brewery may not sell its own beverages for on-premises or off-premises consumption at a special event, but rather, must go through a distributor in order for its beverages to be sold at the special event.

This bill would authorize an organization, winery or brewery to obtain a license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to hold a wine festival or beer festival where wineries or breweries may provide tastings and sell their wine or beer for on-premises or off-premises consumption.

This bill would require the ABC Board to adopt rules and issue licenses for wine festivals and beer festivals.
