AB 2004 — Alcoholic beverage sales: beer manufacturers.

Summary

(1) Existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, authorizes a licensed beer manufacturer, at the licensed premises of production, to sell to consumers for consumption off the premises beer that is produced and bottled by, or produced and packaged for, that manufacturer and, among other things, to sell beer and wine, regardless of source, to consumers for consumption at a bona fide public eating place on the manufacturer's licensed premises or contiguous to it, as specified. The act provides that a violation of its provisions is a misdemeanor unless otherwise specified. Existing law provides that moneys collected as fees pursuant to the act are to be deposited in the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund. These moneys are generally allocated to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control upon appropriation by the Legislature. This bill would authorize a beer manufacturer to have upon the premises, as specified, all beers and wines, regardless of source, for sale or service to guests during private events or private functions not open to the general public. The bill would require the beer manufacturer to purchase alcoholic beverages sold at the premises that are not produced and bottled by, or produced and packaged for, the beer manufacturer from a licensed wholesaler, as specified. Because a violation of a provision of a license is a misdemeanor and this bill would increase activities permitted pursuant to the license, subject to specified requirements, this bill would expand the definition of a crime and would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law authorizes a licensed winegrower to apply to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for a certified farmers' market sales permit, which allows the licensee, a member of the licensee's family, or an employee of the licensee to sell wine produced and bottled by the winegrower at certified farmers' market locations, under specified conditions. This bill would authorize a licensed beer manufacturer to apply to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for a certified farmers' market beer sales permit, which would allow the licensee, a member of the licensee's family who is 21 years of age or older, or an employee of the licensee to sell packaged beer that has been manufactured by the beer manufacturer at certified farmers' market locations, under specified conditions. Among other things, the bill would prohibit a licensee from selling more than 5,000 gallons of beer annually pursuant to all certified farmers' market beer sales permits held by the beer manufacturer and would require the licensee to pay a fee of $50 for the permit. Because the violation of a provision of a license is punishable as a misdemeanor and the bill would create a new category of license, the bill would expand the definition of a crime, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
