Distilled spirits may be donated to charitable organizations by both in-state and out-of-state manufacturers. A manufacturer in the state is entitled to have a retail license under Title 28-A, ch. 43 per licensed manufacturing location, either on the premises of the manufacturing facility or at another location. Liquor sold under a retail license issued pursuant to chapter 43 may not be consumed on any part of the premises where patrons aren't permitted. This has passed into law (PL 347).
