SB 26-94

Senate Bill 26-94 in Colorado allows distillery pubs and other alcohol manufacturers to store and produce different types of alcoholic beverages on each other's premises. This means that a brewery can now also help a distillery store or make spirits, provided the locations are next to each other. The bill prevents these shared spaces from selling alcohol directly to customers but ensures they can manufacture and store various kinds of drinks for one another. Since it has been signed into law, this change is now official and affects businesses that hold licenses for making alcoholic beverages in Colorado.
