Farm Brewery license legislation passes | News

The Senate and the Assembly have passed the “Farm Brewery” license legislation.

The legislation allows farmers to off premise accounts and supply hops and barley to other farm breweries.

“This piece of legislation was a priority for our members because it makes pure economic sense,” said Dean Norton, President of New York Farm Bureau.  “New York farmers are always looking for new markets to sell their quality products.  New York Farm Bureau is excited to see the growth in farm brewing continue to increase.”
