BILL NUMBER:S6747
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to exempting certain premises in the county of Warren from the prohibition on manufacturers and wholesalers having an interest in premises selling alcoholic beverages at retail
Purpose
Exempts certain premises in the county of Warren from the prohibition on manufacturers having an interest in premises selling alcoholic beverages at retail.
Summary of provisions
Amends sections 101(1)(a) and 106(13) of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, which restricts the relationships between manufactures, wholesalers and retailers, by adding two parcels of land in the Town of Queensbury and the City of Glens Falls.
Existing law
Current law restricts ownership interests between alcohol manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. However, over the years the law has been amended to create specific exemptions from theses general prohibitions.
Justification
The craft-brewing industry is experiencing unprecedented growth and Davidson Brothers located in Glens Falls, New York is a perfect example of this growth. For the past 16 years Davidson Brothers has been operating its 7 barrel brewery in the City of Glens Falls and have a contract brewery in Portland, Maine which produces their bottled beer for retail sale. The Davidson Brothers brand has built a strong presence in New York's distribution markets but has limited growth potential due to production capacity limits of their existing 7 barrel brewery in Glens Falls.
Their current location is in the center of the historic downtown district of Glens Falls and the new 50 barrel traditional Peter Austin system will be developed in an existing vacant structure the in Town Queensbury. Both breweries will supply their current market as well as be able to produce product to ship out of the market areas for Davidson Brothers and other contract customers.
