HCS SB 725 -- ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES This bill allows culinary students older than 18 years of age to taste, but not consume or drink, any beer, ale, porter, wine, or other similar malt or fermented beverage as part of the required curriculum. A student younger than 21 years of age is explicitly prohibited from receiving any beer, ale, porter, wine, or other similar malt or fermented beverage unless the beverage is delivered as part of the student's required curriculum and is used only for instructional purposes during classes conducted as part of the curriculum. Intoxicating and nonintoxicating beer are required to be brewed from a malt or a malt substitute. Flavor and other nonbeverage ingredients containing alcohol may be used in producing intoxicating and nonintoxicating beer but may not contribute to more than 49% of the overall alcohol content of the finished beer.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
