Deal Reached in Georgia Craft Brewery Battle
Wednesday, January 27th, 2016
Georgia’s craft beer makers won a major victory Tuesday in a compromise that ends a contentious battle at the Legislature, but not all breweries are celebrating.
Brewers and liquor distillers reached an agreement with the wholesalers and state leaders that allows manufacturers to once again sell tours with variable prices, and for the first time, they can also sell food on-site. The changes will take effect once the Department of Revenue issues new regulations, although the timing of that is unclear.
