Synopsis: Alcoholic beverage issues. Raises the barrel limit for a small brewery from 30,000 barrels a year to 90,000 barrels a year. Specifies the barrel limits apply to the aggregate amount that the brewer manufactures at all of the brewer's breweries. Prohibits a small brewer from selling and delivering more than a total of 30,000 barrels of beer directly to a person holding an alcoholic beverage retailer or a dealer permit. Clarifies language regarding food requirements at breweries. Establishes requirements for farmers' markets where wine or beer are sold. Provides that the holder of a farm winery permit or a small brewer's permit that provides only wine or beer by the glass at a festival, fair, or other temporary location and does not provide food: (1) is exempt from the sanitation requirements governing food establishments; and (2) may not be subject to local government licensure, registration, or certification. Allows a small brewer, with the approval of the alcohol and tobacco commission (commission), to participate in a trade show or an exposition for not more than 45 days in a calendar year. Allows a small brewer to store or condition beer in a building separate from the brewery that is owned or leased by the brewer. Provides that to qualify for an artisan distiller's permit, a person must hold at least a majority ownership interest (instead of 100% ownership interest) in the entity that holds a farm winery, brewer's, or distiller's permit. Provides that a township or county (in addition to a city or town) may not regulate a liquor retailer's business or affect a person's ability to hold a liquor retailer's permit. Repeals a provision requiring the clerk of a city or town to certify and mail to the commission an ordinance regulating a liquor retailer in violation of the law. Effective: July 1, 2015.
