Senate Bill 1030 seeks to allow microbrewery licensees to keep certain retail privileges currently revoked if they exceed the 40,000 barrel annual limit for the license.

Such licensees that exceed the 40,000 barrel cap would now hold “producer” licenses and be limited to seven non-manufacturing retail licenses (bar, beer and wine bar and restaurant) and lose all self-distribution privileges except to their own locations.
