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.
S 1280 modifies New Jersey's limited brewery license rules to remove a restriction requiring on-premises beer sales to be "in connection with a tour." The bill directly affects limited breweries holding licenses under R.S.33:1-10, allowing them to sell beer for on-premises consumption without needing to tie sales to tours. Key provisions require these licensees to still offer brewery tours during business hours when operations permit, but eliminate the prior requirement that on-premises sales must be directly tied to the tour. This change simplifies sales options for small breweries while maintaining tour accessibility requirements.
