Among other provisions, House Bill 846 would allow small craft breweries (defined as those producing 225,000 barrels or less annually) to: sell up to 2,000 barrels or 10% of production (whichever is greater) for both on-premise and off-premise consumption; have a second location in the same or adjoining county; serve beer from other breweries (must be purchased through a distributor); sell at farmers markets or festivals; and transfer product between licensed facilities and locations. Large craft breweries (defined as those producing more than 225,000 barrels annually) would have the ability to sell, on site only, 10% of production for both on-premise and off-premise consumption and brewpubs could sell for off-premise consumption and produce up to 2,000 barrels annually.
