The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.26, subdivision 2, specifically regarding the production limits for wineries holding a brewer taproom license. The current law prohibits municipalities from issuing a brewer taproom license to any brewer that produces more than 250,000 barrels of malt liquor annually or to a winery that produces more than 250,000 units of wine.

Under the new provisions, the production limit for wineries is increased to 750,000 units. This change aims to allow larger wineries to obtain brewer taproom licenses, thereby expanding their operational capabilities and potentially enhancing their market presence.
