Beer manufacturers: cider and perry.
Summary
Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, authorizes a licensed beer manufacturer that produces more than 60,000 barrels of beer a year to manufacture cider or perry at the licensed production premises and to sell cider or perry to any licensee authorized to sell wine. This bill would remove the barrel production requirement that a licensed beer manufacturer must meet in order to exercise the manufacturing and sales privileges described above.
