Bill 117 HR 4829, also known as the Distillery Revitalization Act, aims to support and promote the growth of the distillery industry in the United States. The bill includes provisions to reduce taxes on distilled spirits produced by small distilleries, making it easier for them to compete with larger companies.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to streamline the permitting process for distilleries, making it easier for them to get up and running.

The Distillery Revitalization Act also includes provisions to promote tourism at distilleries, allowing them to offer tastings and sell their products on-site. This would help boost local economies and attract visitors to these establishments. Overall, the bill aims to support small distilleries and promote growth in the industry, while also providing economic benefits to local communities. It has received bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a positive step towards revitalizing the distillery industry in the United States.

Congressional Summary of HR 4829

Distillery Revitalization Act

This bill requires the Small Business Administration to modify the Restaurant Revitalization Program, established to support food and beverage purveyors in response to COVID-19, to allow certain distilleries to participate in the program.

To be program-eligible, a distillery must have at least 33% of revenue from on-site sales. However, certain states limit the percentage of revenue that a distillery may have from on-site sales to less than 33%. For a distillery located in such a state, the bill allows the distillery to use its combined revenue from on-site sales and sales to retailers for on-site sales to reach the 33% threshold.
