Liquor license restrictions modified.
HF 3226 modifies Minnesota's liquor licensing rules to allow microdistilleries and distilled spirits manufacturers to operate cocktail rooms on their premises. The bill permits these businesses to sell their own distilled spirits on-site (including on Sundays if authorized by the municipality), with each distiller limited to one cocktail room license. Municipalities must charge a fee and report license details to the state commissioner, while preventing entities from holding both cocktail room and taproom licenses unless they held both before August 20, 2014. This directly affects small distilleries seeking expanded on-site sales options under new licensing terms.
