Virginia Brewery Requirements

License Types and Cost
Brewery License EnhancementsThe General Assembly passed Senate Bill 604, which increases privileges for breweries. Prior to July 1, 2012, breweries were required to obtain a second license to sell beer for off-premises consumption and a restaurant license in order to sell beer for on-premises consumption. Under the new law, brewers will be able to operate more like a Virginia farm winery, with on- and off-premises sales privileges combined into the brewery license.
If desired, both levels of brewery license (limited and unlimited) may be amended to carry the keg off privilege, delivery permit privilege or a combination of both. See the License Types and Costs listing on the ABC website for pricing details.
