The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to enhance the operational capabilities of farm breweries in New Jersey by allowing them to sell their products for consumption both on and off the licensed premises. This change is significant as it broadens the market reach for farm breweries, which must be located on land controlled by the licensee who is actively engaged in farming, with malt beverages primarily produced from ingredients grown on that land. The bill also clarifies that farm brewery license holders are prohibited from selling food on the premises. Additionally, it introduces tiered fees based on production volume and maintains the restriction that a licensee cannot hold more than one farm brewery license.

Furthermore, the bill revises regulations for various alcoholic beverage licenses, including the instructional winemaking facility, out-of-state winery, cidery and meadery, and distillery licenses. It introduces new fees, such as $1,000 for the instructional winemaking facility license and $938 for the cidery and meadery license, while also clarifying that "wine" now explicitly includes "hard cider" and "mead." The bill establishes production limits and sales regulations for these licenses, including provisions for the out-of-state winery license, which allows for the sale of wine from other states up to 250,000 gallons annually. Overall, the legislation aims to modernize the regulatory framework for alcoholic beverage production and sales in New Jersey while increasing associated fees.
