Regulation 23 Addition of substances

Save as the Commissioners otherwise allow, unless and until the beer is sold by way of retail or otherwise supplied for consumption, no relevant operation with respect to any beer shall be carried out by any person, except by a registered brewer at a registered brewery or by a registered holder at a registered store.

Every registered brewer and registered holder shall keep a record containing the particulars specified in Schedule 5 below of all relevant operations carried out by him.

In this regulation “relevant operation” means the addition of any substance to any beer which causes or is likely to cause the beer to be chargeable with a greater amount of duty than would be chargeable if the operation had not taken place.
