VIDEO: Distilleries Push N.C. Bill For Limited On-Site Sales

RALEIGH — Craft breweries and wineries in North Carolina can sell their products to people who take a tour of their facilities. Senate Bill 24 would allow distilleries to follow suit. Current state law bans distilleries from making on-site sales. Scott Maitland, proprietor of Top of the Hill Distillery in Chapel Hill, touted the potential economic benefits of changing state law during a presentation Monday to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society.
