Law changes could mean more local Nev. beer, wine
By Mike Higdon, Reno Gazette-Journal
Nevada’s craft brewpubs will be able to make more than twice as much beer starting in July if Gov. Brian Sandoval signs an omnibus liquor bill.
Nevada is one of the top beer consuming states but one of the most restrictive on production, according to 24/7 Wall Street. Most of that consumption comes from Las Vegas tourism and most of that beer is large-scale domestic beers with no limits to the amount they can import and sell in the state, according to Nevada Department of Taxation numbers.
The local craft brewers would like to change that in their favor so that tourists seek out local beer on tap at the casinos instead. This new bill might give them that opportunity.
