ALBANY — Legislation designed to boost the state’s craft beverage industry — and whose beginnings came by way of a Geneva brewer — has been signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, R-131 of Canandaigua, the bill’s co-sponsor in the Assembly, applauded Cuomo’s signing of a new tax exemption for licensed breweries, farm breweries, cider producers, farm cideries, distilleries and farm distilleries.
