New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation permitting direct shipping of craft beverages by small producers within and outside the state.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed legislation allowing small craft manufacturers of spirits, cider, and mead to directly ship their products to customers within and outside of New York. This change aims to support the growing craft beverage industry, provide opportunities for small producers to reach new markets, foster economic growth, and maintain New York's position as a national leader in craft beverages. The law also permits manufacturers to expand distribution channels, potentially leading to their products being available on store shelves across the country. The measures were initially introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, proving successful without reported violations, leading to the permanent enactment.
