The Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) published TTB Procedure 2018-1 Transfer of Beer Between Breweries Not of the Same Ownership providing brewers with guidance regarding the transfer of beer, without payment of tax, from one brewery to another brewery not of the same ownership. Previously, only breweries of the same ownership could transfer beer between them without payment of tax. However, the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act allows for the transfer of beer between breweries not of the same ownership without payment of tax.
