Free beer samples coming to Calif. farmers markets
By Jon Verive, Los Angeles Times
A new bill signed into law by California Gov. Jerry Brown will let you sample beer before you buy it at your local farmers market.
The bill amends an October law that allowed local breweries to sell beer at farmers markets. When the new law goes into effect in 2016, breweries will be able to host an “instructional tasting event on the subject of beer at a certified farmers’ market.”
After last year’s law passed, many breweries were reluctant to apply for the special permits since they were unable to offer samples of the beer.
