This bill amends R.S. 26:271.1(A)(2)(b) concerning the retail sales of microbreweries in Louisiana. It allows a licensed wholesaler to transfer up to fifty percent of the total manufactured beverages from one permitted microbrewery to another, provided certain conditions are met. One significant change in the bill is the adjustment of the minimum brewing system size required for the receiving microbrewery, which is reduced from a ten-barrel system to a five-barrel system.

The amendment aims to facilitate the transfer of products between microbreweries, potentially enhancing collaboration and distribution within the industry. By lowering the brewing system requirement, the bill may encourage smaller microbreweries to participate in these transfers, thereby promoting growth and innovation in the local craft brewing sector.
