Alcoholic beverages: licenses: arts and crafts workshops.

Existing law generally prohibits anyone from manufacturing, importing, or selling alcoholic beverages in California without a license from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Existing law creates certain exceptions from this proscription, including by allowing the service of alcohol without a license or permit in a limousine or as part of a hot air balloon ride service, provided there is no extra charge or fee for the alcoholic beverages. Existing law creates a similar exception that permits a beauty salon or barber shop to serve wine or beer, subject to additional restrictions on the sizes of the beverages and hours of service. This bill would allow service of wine or beer by an arts and crafts workshop, if certain requirements are met. The bill would require, in this regard, that there be no extra charge or fee for the beer or wine, as described, that the servings be restricted to specified amounts, and that the wine or beer only be provided during business hours and, in no case later than 10 p.m.
