BEER – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding sales by certain licensed brewers.

This bill amends Idaho Code to revise beer licensing rules for small breweries producing fewer than 30,000 barrels annually (including beer made outside Idaho). It allows these breweries to sell directly to consumers at their main production facility and up to two remote retail locations without needing a separate wholesaler license. The bill also permits breweries to retain this direct sales right even after exceeding 30,000 barrels, provided they have brewed continuously in Idaho for five years, have no license violations, and surrender any wholesale license. Additionally, it permits such breweries to operate as wholesalers for their own beer, requiring an Idaho warehouse and brewery-owned equipment. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
