Bill Analysis

Summary: SB 518 would allow small brewers to sell limited quantities of their annual production directly to consumers.

Analysis: SB 518 would increase competition and allow brewers to sell some of their product directly to consumers. While this legislation does not go as far as we would prefer, it does move the industry closer to free market principles. We support SB 518.
