To assure and control quality, a beer distributor or a holder of a small brewer self-distribution license or brewpub self-distribution license, at the time of a regular delivery, may withdraw with the permission of the retailer, a quantity of beer in undamaged original packaging from the retailer's stock if:

1. 1. The beer distributor or holder of a small brewer self-distribution license or brewpub self-distribution license replaces the stock with beer of identical, equivalent value as the beer withdrawn; or

2. 2. The stock is withdrawn before the date, or immediately after the date, considered by the brewer of the product to be the date the product becomes inappropriate for sale to a consumer.

   A consignment sale of beer is not authorized under this section.
