Beer Brewing Laws

S.C. Code Ann. §61-6-20As used in the ABC Act, unless the context requires otherwise:(1)(a) „Spirit Alcohol“ or „Alcoholic Beverages“ means any alcoholic malt, contained, fermented, brewed (whether lager beer or rice beer) or other spirits or a compound or mixture thereof under any name or known, that contains alcohol and is used as a beverage; Excluding:(i) wine if it is produced or produced for personal consumption and which is not sold by the wine producer or by another person. (h) reporting and payment of the required fees. — (1) Within 30 days after the completion of the issue, the permit holder shall: (i) submit, on the forms provided by the auditor, a report on the number of gallons of beer, wine and spirits commercially produced by the permit holder from suppliers who are not licensed; and (ii) pay the tax required under article 5-102 of the general article on taxes. 2. The auditor may require the licensee to pay an advance in an amount sufficient to cover the tax provided for instead of posting a bond. Although home brewing was legalized by the U.S. government in 1979, states still reserved the right to regulate beer and spirits production in any way they deemed appropriate, so the last state to finally make HomeBrewing legal until July 2013! For brewers who want to sell beer directly to the public, it is not enough to have a CMB license. Or. Reverend Stat.

Mich. Comp. Laws § 436.2027 (3) This section does not prohibit:(d) A microbrewer, brewery or local licensee may authorize the sampling and consumption of beer, wine, mead, honey beer or cider that are authorized by one or more home brewers at a meeting of home brewers or a club composed primarily of home brewers in the authorized premises, in the following circumstances:(i) Sampling or consumption is intended for exhibitions or competitions with home brewers.

(v) Participants in sampling or consumption shall not be charged for sampling or consumption of beer, wine, mead, honey beer or cider. 2. For the purposes of this Section, „beer or family wine“ means beer or wine produced in the household for private consumption and not for sale.

(b) beer, wine, mead, honey beer or cider of any alcoholic strength by volume produced on the premises of the owner or lessee of those premises, provided that those premises are used and used as an apartment by that owner or lessee and that the beer, wine, mead, honey beer or cider are intended for family use and personal consumption. (d) Any entity that has issued a licence under this section must, in addition to federal regulations, meet the following conditions:(4) The same person is responsible for brewing, handling or transporting the beer produced and must be at least 21 years of age. This person may produce beer within prescribed limits of restrictions, may not carry more than 20 gallons of beer produced, and may not sell beer produced. The production of beer for personal use must not violate federal laws or regulations or state laws or regulations. Beer produced in a brewing facility may only be removed for the brewer`s personal use. (ii) the production of beer per household for personal or family use shall not exceed :(A) 200 gallons per calendar year if two or more adults reside in the household; or (B) 100 gallons per calendar year if only one adult resides in the household (c)(1) Beer or wine produced in accordance with this section may be donated to a non-profit organization for sale at fundraisers conducted solely by and for the benefit of the non-profit organization. Beer and wine donated in accordance with this subdivision may only be sold by the non-profit organization for consumption on the premises of the fundraiser, under a license granted by the department of the non-profit organization in accordance with that department. 2. Beer or wine donated and sold in accordance with this subdivision shall bear a label indicating its producer indicating that the beer or wine is homemade and that it is not available for sale or consumption outside the authorized premises.

Beer or wine is not required to meet other labelling requirements under this department. However, nothing in this paragraph authorizes the use of false or misleading information on a beer or wine label. (3) A non-profit organization founded to promote the domestic production of beer or wine or whose members are composed primarily of national brewers or amateur winemakers is not entitled to sell beer under that subdivision. Tex. Alcoholic Beverage Code Ann. §109.21 (a) The head of the family or an unmarried adult may not produce more than 200 gallons of wine, beer, malt liquor or beer per year for the use of his family or himself. No license or approval is required. On January 16, 1919, the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified and prohibited the production, sale, and transportation of alcohol (prohibition), including home-made beer. On the 21st. The amendment repealed the prohibition in 1933, but the repeal law wrongly omitted the legalization of home beer production (the production of house wine was legalized at the time).

(e) Any city or county may regulate contests, contests or other events for the exhibition, demonstration, judging, tasting or tasting of homemade beer as described in paragraph (d), including the application for authorization for contests, contests or other events. Our goal: to promote and protect American craft brewers, their beers and the brewing community.

The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) organizes events such as the National Homebrewers Conference and the National Homebrew Competition. The AHA also publishes Zymurgy Magazine. The AHA is part of the Brewers Association, whose Brewers Publications Division is the largest publisher of contemporary brewing literature relevant to today`s craft brewers and home brewers.
