This bill amends R.S. 26:271.1(A)(2)(b) concerning the retail sales of microbreweries in Louisiana. The primary change 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 alteration is the adjustment of the minimum brewing system requirement for the receiving microbrewery, which has been changed from a ten-barrel system to a five-barrel system.

The bill aims to facilitate the transfer of beverages between microbreweries by lowering the threshold for the brewing system size, potentially encouraging more collaboration and distribution among smaller breweries. This legislative change reflects an effort to support the microbrewery industry in Louisiana by making it easier for them to operate and share their products.
