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.
