Big News for The CA Craft Beer Industry! 📢 CCBA-sponsored bill AB 2174 (Aguiar-Curry) was signed into law by Gavin Newsom and will take effect January 1, 2025! California craft breweries will be able to sell their beer for consumption at public and private events using a Beer Caterer’s Permit. This is a game changer for the California craft beer industry. 🍻

It’s a win-win. AB 2174 provides breweries with new opportunities to support their downtowns and local communities while also strengthening their businesses. Assemblymember Aguiar-Curry said “Not only does this allow craft brewers to be good civic neighbors, it allows them an opportunity to build awareness of their products and a sustainable business for the future.”

A special thanks to Gavin Newsom, Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, and all our incredible members who stand with us in our mission to support California’s industry!
