1 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
2 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
3 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
4 for distributor or importing distributor business
5 strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford
6 and allow smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace
7 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
8 integrity of the 3-tier system.
9 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
10 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
11 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of

2 other state where it is licensed.
3 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
4 State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to

9 not a member of any affiliated group that manufactures,
10 directly or indirectly, more than 930,000 gallons of beer
11 per annum, 25,000 gallons of wine per annum, or 50,000
12 gallons of spirits per annum; (3) shall not annually
13 manufacture for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer,
14 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits; (4)
15 shall not annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its
16 beer to retail licensees and class 3 brewers and to

18 pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4 of this Act,
19 sell beer, cider, mead, or any combination thereof to
20 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
21 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
22 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
23 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
24 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture
25 of beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated

7 wine, or 50,000 gallons of spirits in any calendar year or
8 became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more than
9 930,000 gallons of beer, 25,000 gallons of wine, or 50,000
10 gallons of spirits.
11 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
12 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
13 consistent with this Act.
14 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
15 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
16 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
17 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
18 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
19 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
20 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then
21 the self-distribution exemption holder's distribution
22 rights in the assigned territories shall cease in a
23 reasonable time not to exceed 60 days.
24 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
