Receiving favorable Senate committee action following House passage, House File 607 contains the final recommendations from a working group spearheaded by the State Alcoholic Beverages Division and appointed by the Governor to review and suggest changes to state liquor laws. Among various provisions, the bill seeks to simplify the brewery permitting process and allow brewpubs to sell growlers for off premise consumption without the need to first sell that beer to a distributor and then buy it back. Any other packaged beer would still need to move through a distributor before being sold for off premise consumption.
