via Burlington Free Press<\/a>:<\/p>\n

For folks who like an ice-cold brew on a hot summer day, but not just any brew will do, there\u2019s a law for you. It allows you to order a couple of cases of your favorite craft \u201cmalted beverage\u201d for shipment to your home \u2014 in the same way that wine-lovers have been able to order a case of their favorite beverage.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is intended to be an economic development measure.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cVermont brewers are getting quite a reputation,\u201d Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, said. He hopes allowing direct shipping will help Vermont\u2019s breweries \u201cget their products out there.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s a link to the Vermont Bill:<\/a><\/p>\n

Act Summary:<\/p>\n

This act makes numerous changes to the laws regarding alcoholic beverages. \u00a0It allows the holder of a second class license to export malt beverages. \u00a0It allows an alcoholic beverage manufacturer to sell malt beverages, vinous beverages, or spirits produced by up to five other manufacturers. \u00a0The act clarifies the definition of \u201cart gallery\u201d and \u201cbookstore\u201d in relation to the art gallery or bookstore permit. \u00a0The act allows an in-state or out\u00e2\u20ac\u2018of\u00e2\u20ac\u2018state brewer to ship malt beverages directly to Vermont consumers. \u00a0The act allows the employee of a wholesale dealer to be employed by the holder of a first class license. \u00a0The act clarifies which licensees must receive training in the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, expands acceptable identification for the purchase of alcoholic beverages to include a passport card, and repeals a sunset on the law enforcement powers of liquor control investigators.<\/em><\/p>\n

Multiple effective dates, beginning June 3, 2013<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is huge in a few ways but let’s keep in mind that very few customers are trying to order Long Trail Ale. Nothing against Long Trail but their beer is already distributed pretty far. This is mostly big news for the small brewers that everyone wants by the case and would like to get it without driving 7 hours each way from NYC. The only problem is that currently, Lawson’s, Alchemist, Bobcat, Hill Farmstead and other breweries can’t meet demand of the people that are coming to the breweries in person. Could a brewery like Lawson’s switch to an online direct shipping model and stop doing farmers markets? Send kegs locally and send beer via mail to anyone that will pay the shipping fees? It’s possible and well have to see how the effects of this law play out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via Burlington Free Press: For folks who like an ice-cold brew on a hot summer day, but not…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-07T17:13:09Z","apple_news_api_id":"9d189ffb-dc21-4c22-a443-653344e2b768","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-07T17:13:13Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AnRif-9whTCKkQ2UzROK3aA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[173],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-beer-news","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-pS","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2492,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2014\/11\/21\/travel-went-to-over-30-vermont-breweries-and-all-i-got-was-this-bag-of-awesome\/","url_meta":{"origin":1604,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Travel: Went to over 30 Vermont Breweries and all I got was this bag of awesome","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"November 21, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Myself and two friends spent the summer going to every brewery on the Vermont Beer Passport.
