ATLANTA — State lawmakers approved a bill that could give craft beer brewers the boost they need to help business.

The Senate passed SB 63, which would allow 36 ounces of beer to be consumed “on premise” of a brewery during a tour and up to 64 ounces to be taken home.

Further, the bill allows purchase of beer in single containers, called a “growler”, or one 12-ounce bottle of beer.

The current law prohibits brewers from selling directly to consumers.
