(2) Light wine or beer produced at a brewpub shall not be sold at a price less than it cost to manufacture such light wine or beer.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, light wine or beer manufactured by a brewpub shall not be sold away from the premises of such brewpub (as defined in Section 27-71-301, Mississippi Code of 1972) and shall not be packaged in any form that it may be carried away from the premises; however, the final one hundred (100) gallons of beer within a fermenting tank may be placed in kegs for sale on the premises to facilitate transition from one fermenting tank to another. A brewpub may sell light wine or beer manufactured by it for consumption off the premises of the brewpub if the light wine or beer so sold is contained in a growler.
