HB613 Alabama 2021 Session

Under existing law, breweries that produce less than 60,000 barrels of beer per year may sell at retail beer that is manufactured at their licensed premises for on-premises and off-premises consumption under certain circumstances. Beer produced by a contract brewery is included for purposes of calculating whether a brewery has exceeded the 60,000 barrel limit

This bill would provide that beer transferred from a brewery in accordance with federal law to a brewery of the same ownership is deemed to have been manufactured by the receiving brewery at its licensed premises

This bill would provide that when calculating the 60,000 barrel limit, beer produced by affiliates and beer brewed exclusively for the manufacturer is included in the calculation

This bill would also authorize the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to designate in its manufacturer license the type or types of alcoholic beverage, whether beer, wine, or liquor, a manufacturer produces

Relating to alcoholic beverages; to amend Section 28-3A-6, Code of Alabama 1975, to provide further for certain breweries that sell beer at retail for on-premises and off-premises consumption; and to provide further for manufacturer licenses issued by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
