BILL NUMBER:S7110
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to a license to manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages in a premises commonly known as a restaurant-brewer
Purpose
To allow an individual to own both a brewpub and a restaurant.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 states that a license issued under this section shall be considered a retail license.
Section 2 is the effective date.
Justification
Since the end of Prohibition, New York State law has generally restricted owners of an alcohol manufacturer license and an alcohol retail license from having an interest in each other (known as the "tied house" restrictions).
These restrictions have carried over into the service business, with the result that a person is not able to own both a brew-pub (a manufacturer) and a licensed restaurant (a retail facility).
Given the many similarities in the operation of a restaurant facility and a brew-pub facility, there should be some flexibility to allow a successful owner of a restaurant to be able to acquire or establish a brew-pub, and vice versa.
