Alcoholic beverage manufacturing has changed, especially in New York State — in fact, no state has done more to assist and promote the craft beverage industry. To benefit the state's dynamic ecosystem of independent winemakers, brewers, cidermakers and distillers, we've worked collaboratively with the industry to transform our laws and add business-friendly legislation to support a craft beverage renaissance throughout New York. Wineries, breweries, distilleries and cideries are synonymous with New York thanks to the state’s continued focus on this industry.
