Assembly Bill 404
On June 4, 2025, the Nevada Craft Brewers Association announced the successful passage of Assembly Bill 404, touted as a milestone piece of legislation aimed at modernizing and supporting Nevada’s independent craft beer industry. The bill passed without opposition. AB 404 allows in-state breweries and distilleries to ship beer directly to consumers outside of Nevada, granting them a vital, modern tool to navigate an increasingly challenging and competitive market. This is a privilege that wineries and breweries were granted in 2020, however, it was rescinded specifically to breweries in 2021. The legislation also provides clear authorization for breweries to operate up to two taproom locations where beer is not brewed on site as well as serve other alcohol, creating much-needed flexibility and a greater ability to grow within local communities. Breweries with more than two taprooms will be grandfathered in. The passage of AB 404 represents a major achievement for the more than 50 breweries across Nevada represented by the NCBA.
