Amended Rule/Section: FL-III (Form E-3) and FL-IV (Form E-4) Retail Licenses
Type of Change: New Operational Permission/Directive
What Changed: The Commissioner of State Excise has issued an order permitting the sale of draft beer (draught beer dispensed from kegs/taps) under existing FL-III and FL-IV retail licenses. Previously, these licenses typically covered only bottled/canned beer sales. This order expands the authorized mode of beer service to include draft/tap systems commonly used in restaurants, bars, and permit rooms. The change allows license holders to install draft beer dispensing equipment and sell beer by the glass directly from kegs, subject to compliance with Form E conditions and inspection requirements.
