Legislation moving through the General Assembly to allow beer brewers to sell directly to customers now would also apply to the state’s liquor distilleries.
A House subcommittee on Thursday amended Senate Bill 85 to afford liquor manufacturers the same rights as their beer brethren.
The move was not unexpected nor unwelcome from supporters of SB 85.
Under the new bill, distilleries can sell customers up to three 750 milliliter bottles of liquor a day and up to 500 barrels a year. Beer brewers can sell up to a case a day to an individual customers.
The full House Regulated Industries Committee could consider the bill next week. The Senate passed the bill last week.
