This bill amends the existing regulations surrounding brew pub licenses by allowing holders of such licenses to also obtain on-premises or off-premises licenses under specific conditions. The previous provision in RSA 178:13, XV is repealed and replaced with new language that permits brew pub licensees to hold these additional licenses, provided they do not possess any other type of manufacturing license. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that brew pub licensees can self-distribute their products to only one on-premises license they own and limits their production to a maximum of 2,500 barrels of beer and/or cider during the licensing period.

The new legal language emphasizes that holders of multiple brew pub licenses cannot self-distribute to more than one commonly owned on-premises or off-premises license. This legislation is a request from the liquor commission and is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an effective date of August 30, 2025.
