Senate Bill 516	Senate Author:  Eltife et al.
Effective:  6-14-13	House Sponsor:  Smith et al.

            Senate Bill 516 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to limit the issuance of a brewer's self-distribution permit only to the holder of a brewer's or nonresident brewer's permit. The bill authorizes the holder of a brewer's self-distribution permit, under certain circumstances, to sell ale produced under the brewer's or nonresident brewer's permit to those persons to whom the holder of a general class B wholesaler's permit may sell. The bill sets the limit on the total combined sales of ale under these provisions, together with the sales of beer by the holder of a manufacturer's self-distribution license at the same premises, at 40,000 barrels annually. The bill sets the fee for a brewer's self-distribution permit and establishes reporting requirements for such a permit holder.
