Who needs a brewery-public house license, or brewery license in Oregon?

Issued by Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, at step 5 of 6 in the opening sequence: alcohol permits.

1 of the 20 kinds of business in Oregon

A brewery-public house is both a supplier and a retailer: it brews, serves its own and other makers’ beer, wine and cider by the glass and to go, and may wholesale up to 7,500 barrels a year. A brewery license with consumption privileges lets a larger producer run a taproom and self-distribute. The federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first and the local government signs off on the premises.
