Amount of wine a winery may produce with a brewer taproom license modification

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.26, subdivision 2, which governs regulations related to brewer taproom licenses. Specifically, it increases the production limit for wineries that wish to hold a brewer taproom license. Currently, a winery producing more than 250,000 gallons of wine annually is prohibited from obtaining such a license. The amendment raises this threshold to 750,000 gallons, allowing larger wineries to qualify for a brewer taproom license.
