ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Provides relative to microbrewery sales at special events
This bill allows microbreweries in Louisiana to sell their beer at special events by authorizing up to twelve permits for each licensed microbrewery. It requires microbreweries to already hold both a microbrewer's permit and a Class A retail permit to participate in these events. The permits must be issued under the same name as the microbrewery's existing license and follow specific administrative regulations. This change expands the ability of microbreweries to sell their products at events beyond their regular retail locations.
