Which of the following is a notable exception to the three-tier system in many states?

A brewpub that serves its own beer
A grocery store that sells beer
A liquor store chain with more than 10 stores in one state
An importer that sells unpasteurized beer

The correct answer is: A brewpub that serves its own beer

A brewpub that serves its own beer is the notable exception because it is a combination of both a brewery and a bar/restaurant, thus breaking the traditional three-tier system. Option B and C are incorrect because they are still following the three-tier system as they are either a retail establishment or a chain of liquor stores. Option D is incorrect because it does not involve the sale of alcohol to consumers, which is the main aspect of the three-tier system.
