- The Karnataka government has reduced the minimum area requirement for microbreweries from 10,000 square feet to 6,500 square feet, likely leading to an increase in the number of microbreweries in Bengaluru. - New rules allow microbreweries to open up to three additional dispensing counters for serving draught beer, enhancing consumer convenience. - The government aims to generate additional revenue through these changes, under pressure to implement costly poll guarantees. - Bengaluru, home to over 70 microbreweries, recently saw an extension of liquor serving hours until 1am for clubs, hotels, bars, and restaurants. - The amendment also increases the minimum distance for liquor outlets from highways, with specific exemptions for areas with higher populations.
