S 1267 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows certain breweries to operate off-premises retail salesrooms; permits breweries and wineries to operate joint salesrooms.

This bill allows smaller breweries operating under a limited license to open up to 15 off-premises retail salesrooms where customers can purchase beer for on-site or off-site consumption. It also permits these breweries to jointly operate salesrooms with wineries (including those with plenary retail winery or farm winery licenses). Currently, limited breweries could only sell beer on-site in limited quantities or via warehouse distribution, but not through separate retail locations. The change directly affects smaller breweries seeking expanded retail access without requiring them to operate restaurants or sell food.
