An Act expanding the sale of products by farmer breweries and pub brewers

This bill allows farmer breweries and pub brewers in Massachusetts to sell their malt beverages at certified agricultural events like farmers' markets and fairs. Under the new rules, these producers can obtain a special license to sell their drinks in sealed containers for customers to take away, provided the event is officially approved by the Department of Agricultural Resources. The legislation also permits brewers to offer small, free samples of their products at these events, with specific limits on the size and number of samples given to each person. To qualify, the brewery must submit a detailed plan outlining the event details and demonstrate that the gathering focuses on local agricultural products.
