This bill aims to revise existing brewery laws in Montana to facilitate the production and sale of collaboration beers. It allows brewers to serve beer that is not brewed on their premises, provided that it is made in collaboration with another small brewery in Montana. This change is intended to promote partnerships among local breweries and enhance the variety of offerings available to consumers.

Additionally, the bill includes specific restrictions regarding the serving of these collaboration beers, ensuring that the integrity of the brewing process is maintained. The proposed amendments will affect Sections 16-3-213 and 16-3-214 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), although the exact legal language changes are not detailed in the summary.
