Relating to the transfer of certain malt beverages between two or more licensed premises operating under the same general ownership or management.
This bill allows brewers and brewpubs operating multiple locations under the same ownership or management to transfer their own malt beverages between those locations. It permits transfers between brewery premises (under Section 62.085) and between brewpubs (under Section 74.12), subject to specific rules: vehicles must be described to the commission and plainly marked, and transfers must occur during permitted hours. Previously, such transfers between retail locations were generally prohibited (Section 69.11), but this bill creates exceptions for covered premises. The change directly affects businesses holding brewer's or brewpub licenses with multiple locations.
