This bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to allow limited breweries, which produce no more than 300,000 barrels of beer annually, to operate up to 15 off-premises salesrooms. The new legal language inserted into the current law grants these breweries the right to sell malt alcoholic beverages in original packages and draft beer by the glass for consumption on or off the premises. Additionally, the bill allows for the delivery of products from the brewery to the salesrooms using vehicles owned or leased by the license owner, while imposing a fee of $250 for each salesroom.

The legislation also includes a provision that prohibits licensees from jointly controlling or operating salesrooms, ensuring independent operation. This change aims to modernize the regulatory framework for the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages in New Jersey, particularly benefiting smaller breweries seeking to expand their market presence. The bill further outlines various definitions and stipulations related to the production and sale of alcoholic beverages, including fees for different types of licenses, and is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
