This bill amends the Liquor Code of Pennsylvania, specifically focusing on the definitions and regulations surrounding the manufacture and use of alcoholic beverages. It updates the definition of "manufacture" to include all processes involved in producing malt or brewed beverages, as well as alcohol or liquor, while explicitly excluding the blending and overnight storage of alcohol and liquor into ready-to-draft pre-mixed keg cocktails by retail licensees. Additionally, the bill introduces a new definition for "ready-to-draft pre-mixed keg cocktail," which describes a beverage prepared on the premises of a retail liquor licensee that combines a nonalcoholic cocktail base with liquor in a sealed keg for on-premises consumption.

Furthermore, the bill modifies Section 491 regarding unlawful acts related to liquor and alcohol licensees. It clarifies that while the use of decanters for wines is permitted under certain regulations, the term "other similar receptacles" does not include kegs or containers used for ready-to-draft pre-mixed keg cocktails. This change aims to streamline the regulations surrounding the production and serving of these cocktails while ensuring compliance with existing liquor laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
