Georgia senate committee rejects small brewery distribution bill
Reported by AI Image generated by AI
A Georgia Senate bill allowing small breweries to self-distribute beer locally died in committee on Tuesday despite advocacy from craft brewers. Senate Bill 456, sponsored by Sen. Tim Bearden, aimed to let producers sell up to 500 barrels annually within county lines but faced opposition from distributors and health experts. The measure failed to advance after no second to a motion supporting it.
