Microdistillery License
The Microdistillery license was created by New Section 2 of the 2012 House Bill 2689 which became effective July 1, 2012. To read more about this legislative change and others, please visit our Liquor Laws and Industry Notices page.
The Microdistillery license allows the manufacture and storage of not more than 50,000 gallons of spirits per year; the sale of spirits manufactured by the licensee in the original unopened container to be consumed off the licensed premise; and, free samples provided on the licensed premise and at special events monitored and regulated by the ABC.
When you apply for a new Microdistillery license, it will be for a two year license term and it must be renewed biannually. You will have the option to either:
- pay the license fee and the registration fee in full; or,
- pay half of the license fee plus the registration fee with your application and pay the remaining half of the license fee plus a 10 percent surcharge within one year from the date your license was issued. Note: If you do not pay your remaining license fee and the 10 percent surcharge when it is due, your license will automatically be cancelled.
