Session
Regular Session 2021
Title
Breweries, distilleries, daily limit on amount beer or liquor sold to customers eliminated, Sec. 28-3A-6 am'd.
Description

Under existing law, at its premises for off-premises consumption, a licensed brewery that produces less than 60,000 barrels of beer per year may sell at retail up to 288 ounces of beer per customer per day and a licensed distillery may sell at retail up to 2.25 liters of liquor per customer per day. 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 allow a brewery to sell up to 864 ounces of beer per customer per day and a distillery to sell up to 4.5 liters of liquor per customer per day for off premises consumption.

This bill would also provide that when calculating whether a licensed brewery produces less than 60,000 barrels annually, only beer provided by a contract brewery which is produced exclusively for the brewery shall be considered.
