Authorized sales as described above may occur at the small brewery location property or at fairs and food and beer festivals. Small breweries may sell and transport beer, malt, and hard cider products produced on the premises of the small brewery to retail license holders and small brewery license holders if the total production of the permitted brewery does not exceed fifteen thousand (15,000) barrels per year.
