produced only by such licensee to a holder of a retail beer license,

retail spirits license, mixed beverage license, beer and wine

license, caterer’s license, special event license, public event

license, charitable auction license or brewpub license. A small

brewer shall elect whether it will distribute through a distributor

or self-distribute in a subject territory; however, a small brewer

may not elect to do both simultaneously in a subject territory. The

election shall be made through notice to the ABLE Commission. Any

changes to the election shall require immediate notification to the

ABLE Commission before the change in election will take effect. A

small brewer that elects to self-distribute in multiple territories

shall only be required to have one small brewer self-distribution

license.

G. All manufacturer’s licenses held by brewers during the first

calendar year beginning October 1, 2018, shall automatically convert

to brewer licenses and be deemed effective as of the date of the

first issuance of the manufacturer’s license. Upon the first

renewal of the license, the brewer will need to obtain the

appropriate brewer’s license. If a brewer elects to market wine and

spirits, the brewer will also be required to obtain a manufacturer’s

license and comply with the rules and regulations for both licenses.
