Who needs a microbrewery license in Kansas?

Issued by Kansas Department of Revenue, Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, at step 5 of 6 in the opening sequence: alcohol permits.

1 of the 20 kinds of business in Kansas

A microbrewery brews up to the statutory cap, sells its own beer at the brewery and to distributors, and may hold the drinking establishment license above on the same premises to pour wine, spirits and other breweries’ beer in a taproom with food. The federal TTB brewer’s notice and the city’s approval come first; the county must allow liquor by the drink.
