HB 1334 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to the sale of beer in refillable containers.

This bill allows liquor store owners to fill their own-brand refillable beer bottles with any beer they choose, regardless of the bottle's original label. Previously, stores were required to match the beer inside the bottle with the brand printed on the container. The change gives retailers the freedom to decide which beer to pour into these reusable bottles without being restricted by the bottle's branding. This policy applies specifically to businesses that hold a license to sell beer in refillable containers.
