H.B. 96 seeks to change existing law, under which a brewery is generally not allowed to operate a restaurant on its premises and dispense alcoholic beverages, to create a license for limited production breweries that allows them to produce beer and operate a restaurant on their licensed premises and sell their beer at the brewery and restaurant. Additionally, the bill would allow a brewpub to sell alcoholic beverages for on- and off-premises consumption.
