This bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to allow limited breweries, which produce no more than 300,000 barrels of beer annually, to sell and deliver their brewed products off-premises at retail salesrooms. The new legal language permits these breweries to operate up to 15 salesrooms separate from their brewery locations, where they can sell malt alcoholic beverages in original packages and draft beer by the glass for consumption on or off the premises. Each salesroom will incur a fee of $250, and breweries are allowed to deliver their products to these salesrooms using vehicles they own or lease.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that licensees cannot jointly control or operate these salesrooms, ensuring independent operation. This legislative change expands retail opportunities for limited breweries, which previously had fewer options compared to wineries. The bill also includes definitions and stipulations related to various alcoholic beverage licenses, aiming to enhance the operational capabilities of limited breweries while ensuring compliance with existing regulations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
