Allows production of certain religious wine and sale on premises of religious institutions.
This bill amends New Jersey's alcohol licensing law to allow religious institutions to produce and sell certain alcoholic beverages on their premises. It creates a new "restricted brewery license" permitting religious organizations to brew up to 10,000 barrels of malt alcoholic beverages annually, with sales limited to on-premises consumption and specific distribution rules. The license requires connection to a restaurant with dining facilities and mandates adherence to existing alcohol regulations, directly affecting eligible religious institutions seeking to offer locally produced beverages.
