HB1093

South Dakota is creating new "small-batch" alcohol licenses for wineries, distilleries, cideries, and breweries, which are smaller producers with lower production limits than traditional manufacturers. These small-batch producers are now exempt from restrictions that normally prevent manufacturers from having financial interests in retail businesses, allowing them to operate more flexibly than larger alcohol producers. The bill amends multiple sections of state alcohol law to define these new license categories and adjust rules that apply specifically to small-batch operations.
