A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to increase the small brewery brewing limit from twenty‑five thousand barrels to one hundred thousand barrels before the brewery must use a WHOLESALE distributor to distribute its products.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 18B‑1104(7) reads as rewritten:
"(7) In areas where the sale is legal, sell the
brewery's malt beverages at the brewery upon receiving a permit under G.S. 18B‑1001(1).
The brewery also may obtain a malt beverage wholesaler permit to sell, deliver,
and ship at wholesale only malt beverages manufactured by the brewery. The
authorization of this subdivision applies to a brewery that sells, to consumers
at the brewery, to wholesalers, to retailers, and to exporters, fewer than 25,000100,000
barrels, as defined in G.S. 81A‑9, of malt beverages produced by it
per year. A brewery not exceeding the sales quantity limitations in this
subdivision may also sell the malt beverages manufactured by the brewery at not
more than three other locations in the State upon obtaining the appropriate
permits under G.S. 18B‑1001. A brewery operating any additional
retail location pursuant to this subdivision shall also offer for sale at that
location a reasonable selection of competitive malt beverage products."
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
