LIQUOR-BREWERS/CRAFT DISTILLER

Amends the Liquor Control Act of 1934. In a provision that authorizes a brewer, class 1 brewer, or class 2 brewer to sell on the licensed premises beer manufactured by the brewer, class 1 brewer, or class 2 brewer to non-licensees, provides that the authorization shall not permit the sale of beer manufactured on the licensed premises (i) bearing the name of another brewer, class 1 brewer, or class 2 brewer or (ii) where the brand, trade name, and intellectual property rights to the beer are not owned or controlled by the manufacturing brewer, class 1 brewer, or class 2 brewer. Makes similar changes to provisions concerning craft distillers. Provides that a self-distribution exemption granted to a class 1 brewer shall not permit the self-distribution of beer manufactured on the licensed premises bearing the name of another manufacturer of beer not owned or under the control of the class 1 brewer. Effective immediately.
