Representative Toby Barker recently introduced House Bill 1158, the Mississippi Microbrewery Modernization Act of 2015. This bill would allow certain breweries in Mississippi to sell products on the brewery premises and authorize certain breweries to own and operate brewpubs.

The breweries would not be able to sell more than 10,000 barrels at year at the brewery and would be limited to selling no more than 3 gallons to an individual within a twenty-four hour period of time. Sales must be offered only during an official brewery tour.

It will be interesting to watch this bill through the legislative process.
