Carroll County - Alcoholic Beverages - Class 1 Distillery On-Premises Consumption Permit

SB 959 creates a new "Class 1 Distillery On-Premises Consumption Permit" specifically for Carroll County distilleries holding a Class 1 license. This permit allows those distilleries to sell mixed drinks made from their own liquor (up to 7,750 gallons annually), along with food and nonalcoholic beverages, for on-site consumption. The permit replaces previous requirements under Section 2-202 and requires approval from the Carroll County Health Department for food sales. It also mandates compliance with alcohol awareness training and trade practice rules. The bill applies exclusively to Carroll County distilleries and takes effect July 1, 2026.
