Section 23389.  


Latest version.
  • A licensed beer manufacturer may sell and deliver beer from branch offices located away from his or her place of manufacture and exercise all his or her license privileges, other than manufacture, at or from the branch offices. The department shall upon request issue to a beer manufacturer a duplicate of his or her original license which shall authorize the maintenance and operation of each branch declared and designated by him or her, upon the payment for each duplicate of the fee specified in Section 23320.

    Notwithstanding the provisions of any other section of this division, the duplicate license shall be issued forthwith upon the application therefor. In the event any protest is received by the department concerning the issuance of the duplicate license, the protest shall be considered as an accusation against the licensee and a hearing had thereon as if an accusation had been filed.

    For 30 days from the date of the issuance of the duplicate license, no retail sales of beer shall be made at any branch office for which a duplicate license is issued pursuant to this section.
