What kind of license would you need to brew and sell beer?

To brew and sell beer, a manufacturer's liquor license is required. This license is specifically designated for businesses engaged in the production of alcoholic beverages, including beer. It allows the holder to legally manufacture beer in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. This type of license encompasses various aspects of the brewing process, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and legal standards associated with alcohol production.

Other types of licenses, such as a retail liquor license, focus on the selling of alcohol to consumers directly at the point of sale, typically requiring a different set of regulations and compliance. An on-premises liquor license would allow the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises, such as in a bar or restaurant, but does not cover the manufacturing aspect. A wholesale liquor license allows for the distribution of alcoholic beverages to retailers but does not permit the production of the beverages themselves. Therefore, only a manufacturer's liquor license is suitable for someone looking to brew and sell beer.
