A brewer sells its own beer by the glass and to go at the brewery, with the municipality’s Class B beer license for the taproom. A brewpub is a restaurant that brews up to 10,000 barrels a year for its own Class B licensed premises and may not also hold a brewer’s permit. The taproom still needs the retail food license, and the federal TTB brewer’s notice comes first. The 2023 law set a default of $500 a year for every permit and let the Division set the two-year fees now in force.
