Alcoholic Beverages - Class 5 Breweries - On-Premises Consumption

SB 1039 increases the allowable percentage of beer a Class 5 brewery can sell for on-premises consumption from 25% to 35% of annual sales, provided the beer is brewed under contract or by an affiliate. It directly affects small craft breweries holding Class 5 licenses, allowing them to sell more beer they did not brew themselves at their own locations. The bill revises licensing rules to set the 35% limit based on either annual on-premises sales volume or 1.2% of the brewery’s total production. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
