Alcoholic Beverages - Class 5 Breweries - On-Premises Consumption

HB 1551 increases the percentage of beer a Class 5 brewery license holder can sell for on-premises consumption from 25% to 35% under specific conditions. It directly affects small breweries (Class 5 license holders) by allowing them to sell more beer brewed off-site - through contracts with other brewers or affiliates - as long as it doesn’t exceed the new 35% cap on total on-premises sales or 1.2% of their total production. The bill modifies existing rules to permit this expanded sourcing while maintaining oversight through annual sales limits. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
