Missouri Cooler Leases and Growler Sales Amended

Share Post

Amended in the House after passing the Senate, Senate Bill 919 allows a brewer to lease portable refrigeration units to retail licensees at a value equal to the cost of the unit to the brewer. A brewer may also enter into lease agreements with wholesalers, who may enter into sub-lease agreements with retail licensees at a value equal to the cost of the unit to the brewer. A wholesaler may not directly or indirectly fund the cost or maintenance of the portable refrigeration units. Under this act, no portable refrigeration unit may exceed certain height, width, and depth dimensions and the portable refrigeration unit must bear in a conspicuous manner substantial advertising matter about a product or products of the brewer. No retail location may have more than two units and a retail licensee may sell any product from such units. Additionally, the bill allows any person who is licensed to sell intoxicating liquor in the original package at retail to sell 32 to 128 ounces of draft beer for consumption off the premises.
