    (a) Requirement. When the penal sum of the brewer's bond (calculated 
as provided in Sec. 25.93) in effect is not sufficient, the principal 
may prepay the tax on beer as provided in subpart K of this part, or 
give a strengthening bond in sufficient penal sum if the surety is the 
same as on the bond in effect. If the surety is not the same, a new bond 
covering the entire liability is required.
    (b) Restrictions. A strengthening bond may not in any way release a 
former bond or limit a bond to less than the full penal sum.
    (c) Date of execution. Strengthening bonds will show the current 
date of execution and their effective date.
