Attachment A <br />Roseville 2020 Legislative Priorities <br />Allow a Taproom and Cocktail Room on the same premise <br />During the 2019 legislative session, legislation was introduced that remove the restriction from a <br />single entity holding both a cocktail room and taproom license from having a cocktail room and <br />taproom in the same location. However, the bill was not passed by the legislature. Roseville’s <br />Bent Brewstillery has indicated that they would like to able to have a cocktail room license that <br />allows for spirits distilled on-site to be sold in their current tap room. Bent Brewstillery will be <br />working with area legislators to have a bill introduced that will allow for a taproom and cocktail <br />room to be issued for the same premise. This legislation could take the form of a bill that would <br />allow for the coexistence of both licenses statewide or special legislation that would allow Bent <br />Brewstillery to hold both licenses on its premises. <br />In the 2019 legislative session, bills were introduced (HF 347/SF 158) that permit a single entity <br />to own a cocktail room and taproom license. <br />The City of Roseville supportsany legislation that removes the restriction contained in <br />Minnesota Statutes 2016, Section 340A.22 (2) that prohibits a single entity from holding both <br />a cocktail room and taproom license and the restriction of having a cocktail room and <br />taproom being collocated in the same premise. This support also includes special legislation <br />that would singly allow Roseville’s Bent Brewstillery to have both a cocktail room and <br />taproom license upon the same premises. <br /> Approved January 27, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />
