Title

Alcoholic beverage manufacturers, transfer of alcoholic beverage in bond from another location to manufacturer for certain retail sale authorized, Sec. 28-3A-6 am'd.

Description

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 also provide that when calculating whether a 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.
