Establishes and codifies certain privileges for limited and restricted brewery license holders.
Bill A579 codifies and expands privileges for limited and restricted brewery license holders in New Jersey. For limited breweries, the bill removes the requirement for tours to sell on-premise, allows serving beer in outdoor spaces with approved tap systems, and permits offering basic food items like crackers and chips along with non-alcoholic beverages. It also enables limited breweries to host unlimited on-premises events, off-premises events with permits, and private parties without needing special permits or notifications. For restricted breweries, the bill increases annual production limits from 10,000 to 300,000 barrels and allows direct sales to retailers rather than through wholesalers.
