The bill, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/apps\/lsa\/session\/billwatch\/billinfo?year=2012&amp;session=1&amp;request=getBill&amp;docno=1054\">HB 1054<\/a> for those keeping score at home, increases the production cap for craft brewers in the state. Currently it stands at 30,000 barrels. The new limit would be increased to MORE THAN 30,000 barrels and adds the caveat that it be for sale or distribution within the state.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/indianacapitol.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5592\" alt=\"indianacapitol\" src=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/indianacapitol.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Just last year 3 Floyds and Indianapolis based Sun King Brewing successfully led a push to increase the barrel production cap from 20,000 barrels to 30,000 barrels. The bill was signed in to law last summer &#8211; months before both breweries, along with Upland Brewing in Bloomington, Indiana, were closing in on that 20,000 barrel mark.<\/p>\n<p>A brewer who surpasses the barrel limit loses its &#8220;small brewer&#8221; status, which means losing out on some pretty nice perks including tax breaks, self-distribution rights and on-site sale privileges.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment still needs to be voted on by the full Indiana Senate and the Indiana House before (hopefully) being signed by the governor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[500],"tags":[359,456,101,457],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Beer Politics: 3 Floyds Amendment Passes Committee<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/beer-politics-3-floyds-amendment-passes-committee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Beer Politics: 3 Floyds Amendment Passes Committee\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/beer-politics-3-floyds-amendment-passes-committee\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Guys Drinking Beer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guysdrinkingbeer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-02-17T20:30:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-02-06T20:25:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/indianacapitol.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ryan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/ryanahermes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@guysdrinkinbeer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Ryan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/beer-politics-3-floyds-amendment-passes-committee\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/beer-politics-3-floyds-amendment-passes-committee\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Ryan\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.guysdrinkingbeer.com\/#\/schema\/person\/4d2c9427cea9c06e6f49b8c6f11432a3\"},\"headline\":\"Beer Politics: &#8220;3 Floyds Amendment&#8221;
