Alcoholic Beverages - Class 8 Farm Brewery Licenses

SB 807 establishes a new Class 10 farm distillery license in Maryland, allowing farms to produce, bottle, and sell distilled spirits (like whiskey or rum) made from Maryland-grown agricultural products. It directly affects farm-based distilleries, requiring them to engage in agritourism activities (such as hosting festivals, tours, or events) and limiting annual production to 100,000 gallons. The bill also permits Class 10 license holders to sell spirits wholesale within Maryland or to out-of-state buyers, while requiring all distilled products to use at least one Maryland agricultural ingredient. Additionally, it allows holders to apply for multiple Class 10 licenses or a Class 8 liquor wholesaler license under specific conditions.
