SPONSOR: RITCHIE

An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to more
closely align the privileges of farm distilleries with other privileges

promote each others' products and to share a more similar set of privi-
leges under the law.

JUSTIFICATION:

New York State has seen dramatic job growth at small farm breweries,
wineries and distilleries over the past seven years thanks to legisla-
tive efforts to encourage investment in "buy local" economic development
efforts. A major reason for the success of some of the country's best
brewery, distillery, and winery trails has been the result of close
collaboration and cross promotion by regional farms, wineries, brewer-
ies, and distilleries. These trails celebrate the unique cultural herit-
age, natural beauty, and agricultural products of their host region by
linking all stages of production into one visitor experience. Such
collaboration allows locals and tourists alike to experience all the
facets of their favorite beverage's creation and more.

However, in New York State the ability for regional producers to collab-
orate is limited. The laws that govern the production and retail
licenses extended to farm breweries, wineries, cideries, and distiller-
ies does not give each type of producer the same ability to sell or
otherwise cross promote other New York State labelled or farm produced
products. Their ability to cross promote different types of products is
also limited to varying degrees depending on the type of licensee. By
more closely aligning the privileges extended to each license type with
each other, this bill will help New York State's regional and craft
alcoholic beverage producers to cross promote and collaborate in new
ways that were previously only available to out of state competitors.

Allowing individual producers to find new ways to work together to
promote and sell each others' products will help each to grow their
business and will encourage tourism statewide. Also, because this bill
targets farm licensees, any growth in their businesses will also grow
the market for those New York State farm products that are needed for
the production of alcoholic beverages.
