A brewpub permit authorizes the holder to:

(1) produce on the permitted premises a maximum of two thousand barrels a year of beer for sale:

(a) on draft for consumption on the premises;

(b) in a sanitary container brought to the premises by the purchaser and filled at the tap by the permittee at the time of sale; and

(c) in bottles for consumption by the purchaser off the premises;

(2) sell the beer of a producer which has been purchased from a wholesaler through the normal three-tier distribution chain set forth in § 61-4-940;

(3) serve food or otherwise be qualified as a public eating establishment. This provision may not be construed to exempt a permittee or licensee from the requirement that food must be served in order for a license for the consumption of alcoholic liquors on the premises to be issued.
