allowing certain liquor manufacturers to sell to on-premises licensees.

HB 1673 allows small liquor manufacturers (those producing under 1,000 cases annually) to sell directly to bars and restaurants (on-premises licensees), bypassing the state liquor commission. Currently, these manufacturers could only sell to off-premises customers or through the commission, but this bill repeals that restriction. The law sets clear limits: manufacturers may sell no more than 12 cases per customer per year, with each sale capped at one 9-liter case. This change directly affects small producers and venues serving alcohol on-site, enabling more direct business relationships while maintaining sales volume controls.
