Author: MONTGOMERY, Alabama — The Alabama Legislature has passed a bill to allow brew pubs to sell their beers through other locations and allow breweries to serve their products at their plants.
The bill by Republican Sen. Bill Holtzclaw of Madison cleared the House 58-25 Tuesday night. The Senate concurred 19-6 Wednesday. The bill now goes to the governor.
Currently, brew pubs can’t sell their beers at any other location. The legislation allows them to sell their product though wholesalers, who would supply it to restaurants and grocery stories. The bill also allows breweries to operate tap rooms to offer their products.
Holtzclaw says the bill should create more jobs by expanding the number of breweries and brew pubs.
