The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to significantly increase the production limit for craft distilleries in New Jersey from 20,000 gallons to 100,000 gallons of distilled alcoholic beverages per year. This change allows craft distillery license holders to manufacture and sell a larger quantity of products, thereby supporting the growth of the craft distillery industry in response to rising consumer demand. The bill maintains existing privileges for these license holders, including the ability to sell products for consumption both on and off the licensed premises.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that permits craft distillery license holders to offer product sampling, defined as the gratuitous offering of an open container not exceeding one-half ounce. The fee for obtaining a craft distillery license remains unchanged at $938. Overall, the legislation aims to provide clearer guidelines and increased production capabilities for local distilleries, promoting the craft beverage industry in New Jersey.
