S.0355

Micro-distillery tastings

Chamber Passed·5/6/26

South Carolina bill S0355 regulates micro-distillery tastings and retail sales of alcoholic liquors.

Bill S0355 amends South Carolina's liquor laws to regulate micro-distillery tastings and retail sales. Micro-distilleries must establish protocols to ensure consumers are over 21 and limit tastings to one per day. Tours must charge incrementally based on the amount of liquor provided. Tastings can only occur between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sundays. Micro-distilleries may not charge for liquor consumed during tastings but can provide nonalcoholic mixers without charge.
