SF 3010 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain brewers exemption from brand registration requirements

SF 3010 exempts certain small breweries from paying fees to register beer labels in Minnesota. Specifically, it applies to brewers who exclusively sell malt liquor on their licensed premises or through off-sale under section 340A.29 of state law. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 340A.311 to clarify that these brewers are not required to register brand labels or pay the associated $40 initial or $30 renewal fees. This change directly affects small breweries operating under these specific sales models, removing a regulatory requirement they previously faced.
