BILL NUMBER:  S5372
expanding privileges of distiller licenses
grant farm distillers on-premises sales privileges currently held by
farm breweries, wineries, and cideries, and extend on and
off-premiises sales privileges currently held by wineries and
breweries to micro-distillers.
Section 1 of the bill would amend: (1) ABCL § 61(2-c)(a)(v) to allow
farm distillers to sell New York State labelled beer for on-premises
consumption; (2) ABCL § 61(2-c)(a)(vi) to allow farm distillers to
sell New York State labelled cider for on-premises consumption; and
(3) ABCL § 61(2-c)(a)(vii) to allow farm distillers to sell New York
State labelled wine for on-premises consumption.
Section 2 of the bill would amend ABCL § 61(1-a) by renumbering the
existing subdivision as paragraph (a) and adding new paragraphs (b),
(c), and (d) to allow for on or off-premises consumption of liquor
manufactured by micro-distillers or any New York State labelled
liquor, or the ability to obtain a full on-premises retail liquor
license on the micro-distillery premises.
Section 3 of the bill would make the amendment effective immediately.
ABCL § 61(2-c) provides only for the off-premises consumption of: New
York State labelled beer manufactured by a licensed brewer or farm
brewer (subparagraph (v)); New York State labelled cider manufactured
by a licensed brewer, farm brewer, farm winery, cider producer or farm
cidery (subparagraph (vi)); and New York State labelled wine produced
by a licensed winery or farm winery (subparagraph (vii)).  However, it
does not but not for on-premises consumption at the farm distillery.
Additionally, current ABCL § 61(1-a) does not allow for sales for on
or off-premises consumption at a licensed micro-distiller.
This amendment would grant to farm distillers the same on-premises
sales privileges currently held by farm breweries, wineries, and
cideries, and extend the same on and off-premises sales privileges
currently held by wineries and breweries to micro-distillers. These
initiatives were proposed by Governor Cuomo's ABCL Working Group in
