CRITERIA FOR PUB LICENCES

Several factors are considered before a Class E Pub licence is

issued, including:
• qualifications of the applicant
• valid control of the premises
• location of the facility
• general layout and equipment
• amount of proposed production
• compliance with other regulatory agencies

STEPS

There are normally five steps involved in the licensing process.

The time required to process an application varies among
 applications. In order to be considered for a Class E (Brew Pub)
licence, a proposal (or existing licensed) Class A premises must
be received.

1. Preliminary Assessment

You should contact the Regulatory Division as early as

possible to start your application.

Information that will be required includes:

• location

• annual manufacturing capacity

• floor plan with equipment details

• details on the applicants

• a listing of the proposed products

• application fee
2. Eligibility
Details about the applicant will be required to determine
eligibility for licensing. Applicants must have the right to
occupy and control the premises.

3. Board Approval
We will next prepare a submission outlining your proposal
and present it to the Board. You will be advised in writing of
the Board’s decision, including any requirement to publicly
advertise your intent to apply for the licence. An approval
does not commit the Board to issuing you a licence at a later
date.
If your application for a licence is refused by the Board, you
may apply to the Board within 30 days for a hearing. After
considering your presentation, the Board may confirm, vary or
reverse an earlier decision.

4. Submission of Application and

Documentation

• If approved, you will be sent an application form with the

letter of approval. Various other documents may also be
required with the application, including:

• in the case of a company, a copy of the Certificate of

Incorporation and completion of a Particulars of
Incorporation form

• a copy of the lease or title

• Partnership Agreements, Franchise Agreements, etc., where
applicable

• any financial reporting requirements stipulated by the AGLC

• approvals of any other regulatory agencies, including federal

and municipal approval

• annual licence fee

5. Final Inspection and Issue of Licence

Once the premises have been completed according to the

approval and the required documentation has been submitted,
you should contact us for a final inspection. One of our
inspectors ensures the premises are completed as approved,
and discusses the terms and conditions of the licence with
you.
On final approval, the inspector issues an interim licence
authority. The licence certificate will be sent to you soon
after.
Liquor licences are not transferable. They become void if the
premises are sold, leased, assigned or otherwise transferred to
another individual or party. To begin the application process,
prospective purchasers of premises which are already licensed
should contact us once they have an accepted Offer to
Purchase or Lease. Allow us three weeks to finish the review.
STANDARDS

To be considered for a licence, the Brew Pub must meet the

following production requirements:

a) All beer must be manufactured on site.

b) Fermentation, maturation, and storage tanks must each have a
minimum capacity of 2 hectolitres.
0 There must be a weekly minimum capacity for 10 hectolitres
of overall fermentation, maturation, and storage.
1 A brewery must be a complete system capable of producing
beer from raw materials (grain or extract) by way of mash tun
and/or kettle through to a bright beer tank.

The maximum annual production volume for a brew pub is 10,000

hectolitres.

BAR:
A bar (also called a pub, tavern, saloon, beer garden or taproom) is
an establishment that serves drinks, especially alcoholic beverages
such as beer, liquor, and cocktails, for consumption on the
premises.

Bars provide stools or chairs for their patrons along tables or raised
counters. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live
band, comedians, go-go dancers, a floor show or strippers (see
strip club). Bars that are part of hotels are sometimes called long
bars or hotel lounges.

The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which

drinks are served and is a synecdoche applied to the whole of the
drinking establishment. The "back bar" or "gantry" is a set of
shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In some bars,
the gantry is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass,
mirrors, and lights. When food is served elsewhere in the
establishment, it may also be ordered and eaten at the bar.

The licenses require to run a bar:

Basic Business License
1. Rules do vary by state, but in general every business must
obtain a basic business license from the county or city that it
resides in. Many states also require businesses to obtain state
licenses.

Liquor License
2. Obviously, any bar that intends to serve alcohol must obtain a
liquor license. This is usually done through the county clerk's
office. Note that different licenses may apply for different
types of bars. For example, a restaurant may contain a bar
that serves beer, wine and hard alcohol, thus requiring it to
carry an all-liquor license. Bars that are considered to be
taverns will need to obtain a tavern license. This usually
applies to establishments that sell food, but make the
majority of their profits off alcohol. Note that you must again
check with your state or county, as not all states have tavern
licenses.

Alcohol Beverage Control Board

3. In addition to obtaining a liquor license, some states require
additional retail and other specialty licenses in order for an
establishment to buy alcohol, sell alcohol to patrons or to
engage in a number of promotions that may include alcohol
 samples, catering instances and other alcohol-related events.
This is why the federal government has set up the state
Alcohol Beverage Control Boards, who have very specific
rules governing the bar industry.

Registration
4. According to Public Law 109-59, which is called the "Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy for Users" law, a bar must be registered with the Alcohol
and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) by filing form TTB F
5630.5d.

Health and Fire Inspection

5. Your establishment, whether pre-existing or being constructed,
must be inspected by the local fire and health departments. The
fire department ensures that things like maximum capacity and
entrances and exits are in order. The health department will want
to inspect all areas of the property, including where food and
drinks will be prepared, restrooms and employee lounges. They
will also look closely at the floors, ceilings and walls to ensure
that they are in tact.
