Signed by the Governor, House Bill 1322 would authorize small craft breweries (annual production up to 60,000 barrels) to sell beer they produce on the premises of the brewery for both on and off premises consumption, limited to 10 percent of annual production or 1,500 barrels, whichever is less. Additionally, a daily limit of 576 ounces to any one individual is imposed on beer sold for off premise consumption. Small craft breweries would be able to retain these retail privileges in the event they are acquired by a non-small craft brewery. For brewpubs, the annual volume cap on production is raised by 15,000 (from 60,000 to 75,000 gallons) and growler sales are authorized.
