Statewide Iowa — Governor Reynolds has signed a bill into law that lifts the cap on the amount of alcohol Iowa distilleries may produce. It also lets smaller distilleries sell up to nine liters of alcohol to retail customers at their locations. Larger Iowa distilleries are already allowed to sell that amount to a retail customer. Reynolds went to the Revelton Distillery in Osceola for a ceremony to sign the bill, which deals with a wide-range of state liquor control issues.
It changes the licensing system for producers and sellers of beer, wine and alcohol, including the fee structure. Rob Taylor and his wife, Christi, own the Revelton Distillery in Osceola. He says the bill will allow native distilleries to expand, as they’ve been restricted to producing 16-hundred barrels of bourbon and whiskey each year.
The legislation became a catch-all for several proposals. It includes new restrictions for food delivery companies like GrubHub, Uber Eats and DoorDash.
