Currently, the microbrewery statute permits a business to own 1 microbrewery and up to 2 brewpubs (a microbrewery that also has a restaurant as part of its business). This legislation would permit a microbrewery to choose to operate either 2 brewpubs or 1 additional microbrewery and 1 brewpub, under common ownership. The total number of licenses the business could hold remains 3, but it allows the business to choose 2 microbreweries and 1 brewpub, or 1 microbrewery and 2 brewpubs. A microbrewery can also choose to operate just one establishment.
