Minnesota HF3226 modifies liquor license restrictions, including rules for cocktail room and taproom licenses.

Minnesota HF3226 amends liquor license rules, allowing municipalities to issue cocktail room licenses to microdistillery or distilled spirits manufacturer license holders. A single entity cannot hold both a cocktail room and taproom license, and colocation is restricted unless the entity already held a taproom license. The bill also mandates that municipalities inform the commissioner of license details and changes. The cocktail room license allows on-sale of distilled liquor produced by the distiller for consumption on the premises or adjacent to one distillery location.
