think I read something on the TABC website for texas that you can do up to 20 one ounce servings, and you have to post signs about the tastings a day ahead.

One ounce?!?

Never heard of the 20 limit here in Texas. The biggest rule was that you had to have an independent contractor actually "pour" the sample. This is a major pain in the ass. 1/29/2008 2:33:24 PM

There is no limit anymore on the number of tastings here as long as they are not more than 12 ounces. 1/29/2008 2:36:35 PM

In Georgia I’m not sure that tastings at bottle shops are even allowed as I have never seen one, but at breweries it can be no more than 24oz total, must be free, and sampling can only happen once a tour has started or completed. And of course no direct sales to the consumer. 1/29/2008 3:14:12 PM

beer tastings at bottle shops aren’t allowed in nj either.. although wine tastings are.. the reasoning is that with wine you know how much alcohol is in the sample, with beer it varies.. gotta love stupid laws

I don’t understand how that works. How is it any different? you got a bottle of wine and its stamped 11% on the label, you got a bottle of beer and its stamped 11% on the label...?
