The 10 most ridiculous brewery rules issued today by the N.J. ABC.

1. It is illegal to make or sell coffee at a brewery.*
2. But soda is OK.
3. Happy hours are prohibited.
4. Quizzo cannot be promoted on social media without a permit.
5. No sales of art or handmade craft work on the premises.
6. No amplified music without a special one-day permit, approved by the local police chief.
7. To-go beer sold during off-premises events (e.g. festivals) must be warm.
8. No beer can be tapped at a brewery’s outdoor beer garden.
9. And waitstaff can’t serve you outdoors, either.
10. It’s OK to sell hard pretzels in a bag, but not soft pretzels.

*Rules apply to so-called limited breweries, the majority of breweries in New Jersey. They don’t apply to wineries.
