Who needs a brew pub license (state and local) in Nevada?

Issued by Nevada Department of Taxation (state license under NRS Chapter 369) and your city or county liquor board, at step 5 of 6 in the opening sequence: alcohol permits.

1 of the 20 kinds of business in Nevada

Under NRS 597.230 a brew pub may brew up to 40,000 barrels a year statewide, sell its beer by the glass and in sealed packages at the premises and sell to licensed wholesalers. The federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first, then the state license from the Department of Taxation, then the local license; the food side needs the health permit like any restaurant.
