Amends existing law to define "brewery" and "winery"; and to allow persons under 21 to enter or be on the premises of a licensed brewery where beer is consumed.

BREWERIES - Amends existing law to define "brewery" and "winery"; and to allow persons under 21 to enter or be on the premises of a licensed brewery where beer is consumed.

BREWERIES

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This bill brings breweries into alignment with wineries by allowing minors in tasting rooms. Current code allows them to enter a winery tasting room but does not account for breweries. Craft brewing is a new and growing industry in our state, and many of those breweries offer tours and tastings as a part of their business. Like wineries that offer tours, craft brewery tours and tasting rooms are an experience meant to focus on the craftsmanship of the brewers.
