SUMMARY : Proclaims the month of April 2014 as California Craft
Brewery Month. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)In 1982, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 3610 (Bates), Chapter
1019, Statutes of 1982, to amend the state's tied-house laws
to remove the restriction on on-premises sales of craft beer;
and following this change in the law, California became home
to three of the first five brewpubs in America.
2)California is now known and recognized internationally for the
quality of its craft breweries; and California now has more
breweries than any other state in the country, including more
than 440 small, independently owned craft breweries.
3)Brewery tourism is increasingly popular and contributes to the
economic impact of the state's tourism industry; and, the
California craft brewery industry has an annual impact of $4.7
billion on the state's economy.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
