An act relating to miscellaneous amendments to the statutes governing alcoholic beverages

This bill amends Vermont's alcohol beverage licensing laws to expand business options for producers and retailers. It allows fourth-class license holders (like small breweries or distillers) to sell their products to up to eight additional manufacturers or rectifiers (not the previous limit of five), and permits malt beverage manufacturers (like breweries) to obtain a retail shipping license. Under this license, they can ship up to 5,000 gallons annually directly to retailers (first- and second-class licensees), with a monthly cap of 100 gallons per retailer. The changes take effect July 1, 2025, and apply specifically to malt beverages and vinous beverages (wine).
