Sec. 412. (1) The legislature finds that the availability of nonalcoholic beverages, including nonalcoholic beer at tasting rooms, promotes public health and safety when done through a regulated structure that minimizes minor access to nonalcoholic beer.
(2) The legislature further finds that the 3-tier distribution system remains the most effective balance of increasing competition and variety and access to market against public health and safety. The ability of a wholesaler to sell nonalcoholic products to a brewer operating a tasting room under this section must not be used to undermine the 3-tier distribution system.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in this act to the contrary, a wholesaler may sell beer as defined in section 105(8)(b) 1 to a brewer or micro brewer to sell at the brewer's or micro brewer's approved tasting room for consumption on or off the licensed premises.
(4) A brewer or micro brewer that purchases beer as defined in section 105(8)(b) under subsection (3) shall not do either of the following:
(a) Sell or transfer the beer to another licensee.
(b) If the micro brewer or the brewer has multiple licensed locations with approved tasting rooms, transfer the beer to any of the brewer's or micro brewer's licensed locations.
