Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Liquor makers pay new wholesaler permit fees

Liquor makers pay a $500 yearly local license fee for each wholesaler-sales permit at their licensed premises, paid in advance. Local authorities can also charge up to $1,000 for a new permit application. Renewal application fees cannot exceed $100, or $500 when renewing an expired permit. Local authorities set application fees within these limits.

Liquor makers gain cocktail sales with limits

Colorado liquor makers can use cocktail ingredients such as vermouth, amaros, and liqueurs in sales rooms without wholesaler-sales permits. They must mix these ingredients with spirits they made themselves. The cocktails can be consumed at the sales room or taken away. Makers cannot sell these added alcohol ingredients by themselves.

Liquor makers gain wholesaler sales with limits

Licensed Colorado liquor makers can offer tastings and sell their own spirits at one additional approved sales room. Makers with multiple separate licensed sites can operate a sales room at only one of those sites. To sell alcohol bought from Colorado wholesalers, makers need local approval followed by a separate state permit for each location. These drinks are for on-site consumption, except for the separate cocktail rule covering alcohol modifiers. Makers must offer sandwiches and light snacks, but not full meals. Wholesaler drink sales cannot exceed 50% of the maker's gross yearly revenue from alcohol sales. Local permits last one year. State permits end after one year or when the local permit expires, whichever comes first, unless suspended or revoked. The state liquor regulator sets application requirements and can adopt rules to carry out these changes. The law takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after 90 days following final legislative adjournment. August 12, 2026 applies if adjournment is May 13, 2026. A referendum petition filed during those 90 days delays the law until voters approve it and the governor declares the result.
