HI HB1370

Amends the definition of "draft beer" in Hawaii's liquor tax law from beer in containers of seven gallons or more to five gallons or more.

Addresses the current taxation scheme that unfairly discriminates against small brewers and retailers who use kegs smaller than seven gallons due to space constraints and limited production capacity.

Aligns the legal definition with actual industry practices, as most restaurants, bars, and local small brewers dispense beer from smaller kegs.

Takes effect on January 1, 2026.
