A law protecting craft beer.<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, a major breakthrough for small breweries<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n

Passed on July 6, 2016, the law<\/strong> defining the \u201ccraft beer\u201d<\/strong> beer produced by independent small breweries<\/strong> and not subjected to<\/strong> pasteurization and microfiltration processes<\/strong> during the production stage. For the purposes of this subsection, an independent small brewery is defined as a brewery that is legally and economically independent of any other brewery, uses facilities that are physically separate from those of any other brewery<\/strong>, does not operate under license, and whose annual production does not exceed 200,000 hectoliters, including in this quantity the quantities of product for third parties. <\/em><\/p>\n

The previous one dating back to 1962 classified beer according to the Plato degree level<\/strong> (sugar level of the wort before fermentation): so beers were subdivided by non-alcoholic beer, light beer, and so on up to double-malt beer.<\/p>\n

In fact there was no distinction between beers based on the identity of the content so the consumer could not know what beer he was drinking…because the law did not allow it to be written on the label. Therefore, at the legislative level for the old regulation, craft beer had never existed <\/p>\n

In fact, let us not forget the fine taken by the\u201cAlmond 22<\/strong>\u201d brewery in 2011 for putting the words \u201cCraft Beer\u201d<\/em> on the label<\/p>\n

So now all that’s missing is the excise tax reduction<\/strong> for microbreweries!<\/p>\n
