Approval of an Ordinance to Amend Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, to Authorize the Sale of "Growlers"; to Provide for an Effective Date; and to Repeal Conflicting Ordinances. (Agenda Item No. 12-154) ORDINANCE NO. 12-07-138 (First Presentation at June 18, 2012 Council Work Session) (Stacey Inglis, Finance Director) Stacey Inglis, Finance Director: • The item before you is simply amending an ordinance to allow for the sale of growlers. • Last year, the Department of Revenue changed its interpretation of the law to allow growlers as legal packaging for retailers. • Growlers are glass containers up to 64 ounces that are filled with beer from a keg. • They are specialty beers that are not typically bottled. • This ordinance would allow for businesses that already have their retail license, 11or the sale of beer and wine only, to sell growlers. • If a business has a license for distilled spirits they are not allowed to sell growlers. • The growler containers are sold in the store. • They can also be brought back to the store by customers. • They are sanitized in the store, filled from the keg and then sealed. • They are all done by the licensee themselves. • Individual customers are not allowed to fill up the growlers. • The ordinance also allows for samples to be given up to one ounce. • Our ordinance, as it is currently written, already allows for growlers; however, through the advice of our city attorney we are amending it to specifically address growlers. • They are called growlers because when this concept first began the containers used were metal pails and after they were filled with beer the pail would be sealed and the gases that were trying to escape made a growling sound. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Longoria moved to approve Agenda Item No. 12-154. Councilmember Kunz seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously (7-0).
