NJ might end requirement for a tour before drinking at breweries TRENTON – A package of bills aimed at boosting New Jersey’s alcohol makers advanced in the Assembly Monday, including one that would eliminate the requirement for visitors to tour a brewery before buying beer to drink on-site. Five bills were endorsed by the Assembly Oversight, Reform and Federal Relations Committee. It was just the first step in the process for all except one, a bill earlier approved by the Senate letting someone acquire a third retail license as a bankruptcy asset if it’s being transferred to another retail food store.
