Minnesota SF989 modifies restrictions on cocktail room licenses for microdistilleries and distilled spirits manufacturers.

Minnesota SF989 amends the state's liquor laws to allow municipalities to issue cocktail room licenses to microdistilleries and distilled spirits manufacturers, permitting on-sale of distilled liquor on Sundays if authorized. The bill specifies that a single entity cannot hold both a cocktail room and a taproom license, and colocation of these facilities is restricted unless the entity held both licenses before August 20, 2014. The bill also mandates that municipalities inform the commissioner of license issuances, transfers, cancellations, suspensions, or revocations within ten days.
