Summary

The bill creates a definition for a beer‑festival sponsor and a two‑day festival, and allows short‑term licenses for clubs, fairs and similar groups to sell fermented malt beverages at those events. It also clarifies that sales at beer festivals are not covered by the occasional‑sales tax exemption and limits how out‑of‑state brewers can ship beer to festivals. The changes affect license holders, brewers, wholesalers and nonprofit groups that host festivals.
