A 1592 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates restriction on sale of beer by limited brewery licensee for on-premises consumption only when in connection with tour; requires licensee to provide tours during certain business hours.

This bill would change New Jersey's rules for limited brewery licensees by removing the requirement that beer for on-premises consumption must be sold only "in connection with a tour" of the brewery. Currently, limited breweries can sell beer for on-site consumption only if customers take a brewery tour. Under this bill, breweries could sell beer for on-site consumption without requiring a tour, though they would still need to offer tours during business hours when the brewery is open to the public and operations allow for tours. The bill affects only limited brewery licensees, who are permitted to brew up to 300,000 barrels of beer annually. This change would provide more flexibility for limited breweries to serve customers on their premises without the tour requirement.
