FL S1348

Establishes a legal framework for contract brewing and alternating proprietorship brewing in Florida, allowing licensed malt beverage manufacturers to brew on each other's premises or contract with other brewers, with detailed reporting, recordkeeping, and notification requirements to the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco

Authorizes licensed craft breweries to conduct tastings and sell their malt beverages at state fairs, trade shows, farmers' markets, expositions, and festivals, with permits issued by the division limited to the duration and physical location of each event

Changes the annual production cap for vendor-manufacturers from 10,000 kegs to 5,000 barrels (with "barrel" defined as 31 gallons) and reduces the threshold for the lower $500 license tax from 10,000 kegs to 60,000 barrels

Eliminates surety bond requirements for manufacturers (including brewers and wine/cordial manufacturers), retaining bond obligations only for distributors at existing levels of $1,000 to $25,000 depending on business volume and county population

Requires manufacturers, brewers, bottlers, distributors, and importers of malt beverages to register only brands or labels that will be sold to a distributor, exempting brands not sold through distributors from the registration requirement
