annual production, provided that it has continuously maintained a physical presence and continuously brewed
beer in Idaho for at least five (5) years. The brewery will not lose its ability to operate a pub at its brewery
or one remote retail location, provided the brewer has a clean record with no major violations from the Idaho
State Police – Alcohol Beverage Control Division, and the Idaho State Tax Commission.
