Montana HB86 revises alcohol laws, particularly those related to beer and table wine wholesalers. It creates the "Beer and Table Wine Distribution Act," defining terms like "distributor," "growler," and "guest ranch."

It also establishes fees for various licenses, such as $400 for a distributor's license and $600 for a distillery.
