SUMMARY
The bill allows for the sale of liquor from kegs by an on-premises retail licensee. This amendment, which is the minority report of the committee, provides for specific conditions that must be met in order for an on-premises licensee that is not a brewery or small brewery to sell malt liquor for off-premises consumption in refillable containers. In order for a licensee to be able to sell malt liquor in refillable containers, it must offer at least 25 brands of malt liquor on tap at the licensee's establishment. It also requires that the refillable containers be unique to the licensee and may be filled only upon request of a customer with malt liquor produced by small breweries or malt liquor manufactured outside the United States.
