BPC §23399.01: (a) (1) A beer manufacturer licensee may apply to the department for a beer caterer’s permit.

(a) (1) A beer manufacturer licensee may apply to the department for a beer caterer’s permit. A caterer’s permit issued to a beer manufacturer licensee shall authorize the sale of up to 124 gallons of beer manufactured by or for the licensee per catering event for consumption at conventions, sporting events, trade exhibits, picnics, social gatherings, community events, or similar events held any place in the state approved by the department. A beer caterer’s permit does not grant any off-sale privileges and beer sold under a beer caterer’s permit shall not be removed from the premises of a beer catering authorization. (2) A licensee shall maintain records of all beer sales conducted under a beer caterer’s permit for a minimum of 3 years. (b) For each catering event, consent for the sale of beer shall be first obtained by the licensee from the department in the form of a beer catering authorization from the department. A beer catering authorization shall be subject to approval by the appropriate local law enforcement agency. The fee for each beer catering authorization shall be based on the estimated attendance on each day of the event and shall be the same as the event authorization fee specified in Section 23399. (1) The department may approve a beer catering authorization in the same manner as it does for catering authorizations issued pursuant to Section 23399. The department shall not approve more than two beer catering authorizations for the same day at the same catering event. (2) A beer catering authorization shall not be issued for more than 36 events per licensee in one calendar year. (c) The annual fee for a beer caterer’s permit shall be the annual fee as specified in subdivision (b) of Section 23320. The permit may be renewed annually at the same time as the licensee’s license. A beer caterer’s permit shall be transferable as a part of the license. (d) At all approved events, the licensee may exercise only those privileges authorized by the licensee’s license and shall comply with all provisions of the act pertaining to the conduct of the beer manufacturer license. A violation of those provisions may be grounds for suspension or revocation of the licensee’s license or permit, or both, as though the violation occurred on the licensed premises. (e) All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund as provided in Section 25761.
