A 4693 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits certain alcoholic beverage license holders to sell "Jersey Fresh" alcoholic beverages.

This bill allows certain licensed breweries in New Jersey to sell alcoholic beverages made with at least 51% locally grown ingredients, known as "Jersey Fresh" products. The legislation amends existing liquor laws to create a new category of brewery licenses that permit on-site retail sales of these locally sourced drinks to consumers, both for consumption on the premises and for takeout. It also establishes specific fee structures for breweries based on their annual production volume and clarifies that sampling of these beverages may be offered at no charge or for a nominal fee. The changes directly affect brewery license holders and aim to support local agriculture by encouraging the sale of beverages made with New Jersey-grown ingredients.
