LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Craft breweries, gluten-free drinkers and beer aficionados could benefit from alcohol legislation that cleared first-round debate in the Nebraska Legislature.

Senators voted 32-3 Tuesday to advance a nonrefundable tax credit for brewers using Nebraska hops and barley.

The bill by Sen. Tyson Larson of O’Neill would also define hard cider as a beer instead of wine, allowing it to be taxed at a lower rate. The proposal would allow to more restaurants and bars to sell growlers— refillable large bottles — of craft beers to customers for off-site consumption.

The bill would also impose a ban on powdered alcohol, a federally approved powder that makes an alcoholic drink when mixed with water.
