N.Y. Alcoholic Beverage Control Law Section 53
Wholesaler’s license

Any person may apply to the liquor authority for a license to sell beer at wholesale. Such application shall be in writing and verified and shall contain such information as the liquor authority shall require. Such application shall be accompanied by a check or draft for the amount required by this article for such license. If the liquor authority shall grant the application it shall issue a license in such form as shall be determined by its rules. Such a license shall contain a description of the licensed premises and in form and in substance shall be a license to the person therein specifically designated to sell beer at wholesale in the premises therein specifically licensed to duly licensed wholesalers, retailers and permittees in this state, and to sell or deliver beer to persons outside the state pursuant to the laws of the place of such sale or delivery. A wholesaler’s license issued or renewed prior to July first, nineteen hundred sixty, and thereafter renewed or transferred, shall authorize the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in his home; provided, however, that regardless of the date issued, renewed or transferred, a wholesaler’s license issued to a brewer or to the wholly-owned subsidiary of a brewer, shall authorize the holder thereof to sell beer at retail to a person for consumption in his home.
