The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to permit farm brewery licensees to sell their products for consumption both on and off their licensed premises, significantly expanding their sales capabilities. It stipulates that the farm brewery must be situated on land controlled by the licensee, who must actively engage in farming, with the malt beverages produced primarily from ingredients grown on that land. Importantly, the bill maintains that farm brewery license holders are not allowed to sell food on the premises. Additionally, it introduces a graduated fee structure for the farm brewery license based on production volume, ranging from $100 to $300, and clarifies the definition of "sampling" to include the sale or offering of small quantities of malt beverages for promotional purposes.

Furthermore, the bill revises existing laws related to various alcoholic beverage licenses, particularly focusing on instructional winemaking facilities, out-of-state wineries, ciders, meaderies, and distilleries. The fee for an instructional winemaking facility license is increased to $1,000, while the out-of-state winery license fee is set at $938, with additional graduated fees based on production levels. The definitions of "wine" are clarified to explicitly include "hard cider" and "mead," and the rights of license holders to manufacture, sell, and distribute their products are outlined, along with the conditions for offering samples. Overall, this legislation aims to modernize and streamline the regulations governing the production and sale of alcoholic beverages in New Jersey, enhancing the operational flexibility of farm breweries and other license holders.
