Good News for CA Craft Breweries: Effective March 13, breweries can open without the requirement for customers to purchase a meal in the same transaction as alcohol. View the updated CA Department of Public Health guidance on reopening for breweries here: https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/#restaurants

CCBA continues to fight for fairness, equal protection and equitable reopening guidelines for craft breweries in CA. Right now, CA beer manufacturers and their customers are required to eat a meal if they want to purchase a beer at a brewery. This meal requirement does not exist if you visit a winery. As we work together on a safe pathway to reopen businesses in CA, the CCBA asks that the guidelines do not unjustly discriminate against craft breweries and craft beer lovers.
