West Virginia SB740 regulates the container labeling of nonintoxicating beer and craft beer, allowing private labels with specific restrictions.

West Virginia SB740 amends the Code of West Virginia to regulate the container labeling of nonintoxicating beer and craft beer. It permits brewers, resident brewers, and manufacturers to offer private label versions of these beverages, subject to certain conditions. These labels must not encourage intemperance or appeal to those under 21. The bill also restricts cross-promotion, marketing, and the use of trademarks or intellectual property without proper authorization. Additionally, it limits the quantity of these beverages that can be manufactured, sold, and labeled annually.
