METHODOLOGY:

The Liquor Commission states this bill would allow a licensed brewpub to hold an additional on-premise or off-premise license as long as the licensee does not hold any other type of manufacturing license.  The bill restricts a licensee holding 2 or more brewpub licenses from selling more than 2,500 barrels of beer or cider to any NH licensed retailer.  The Commission provided the following information and assumptions concerning the fiscal impact of the bill:

 

  • The bill will require the commission to audit licensees holding 2 or more brewpub licenses to ensure compliance with the sales limitation in the bill.  The Commission  anticipates this will increase the number of audits performed by the Commission to ensure compliance with the law.

 

  • Currently there are 33 brewpubs licensed by the Commission.  The Commission is unable to provide an accurate estimate of how many, if any, of the current brewpubs would seek an additional license.

 

  • The Commission assumes it is likely that existing licensees with other license types will switch to the Brew Pub licenses, since they would now be allowed an additional on-premises or off-premises license.  This would result in additional revenue from new licensing fees and additional beer tax revenue.
