Currently, no person 21 and over shall be required to obtain a license to manufacture intoxicating liquor for personal or family use.
This bill repeals beer brewed for personal or family use and adds intoxicating liquor produced for personal or family use.
This bill decreases the aggregate amount of intoxicating liquor manufactured per household from 200 gallons to 100 gallons per calendar year if there is one or more persons over 21 in such household.
Intoxicating liquor produced may be removed from the premises where produced for personal or family use, including use at wine maker, or distiller contests.
Any intoxicating liquor produced as specified in this bill used at an organized event where an admission fee is paid for entry, at which intoxicating liquor is available without a separate charge, is not a sale of intoxicating liquor, provided the person who produced the intoxicating liquor receives none of the proceeds from the admission fee and all consumption is conducted as specified in the bill.
Currently, licensed wine manufacturers may apply for a "wine direct shipper license" from the Supervisor of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, within the Department of Public Safety. Such license allows a wine manufacturer to ship up to two cases of wine per month directly to a Missouri resident who is at least 21 years of age for personal use. The license may be renewed annually.
The bill extends these same provisions of law to distilled spirit manufactures.
This bill is similar to HB 2669 (2022).
