Greetings, Great Brain! We were hoping to hold an event featuring our local brewery in a "How to home brew" kind of program, and to offer tasting afterwards. I called the MLCC as instructed in the most recent batch of communications on the list serve about the legalities of offering alcohol (thanks so much for that information, btw). In that phone call I was gob-smacked to be told that breweries are absolutely excluded from any type of tasting I could hold. In addition, I could not offer gift certificates as a door prize (and there went my "plan B"). The brewery is fine with presenting here without any beer involved but... shucks! My questions to you: Has anyone found any way around this prohibition (an off-sight event perhaps, or an entirely different event that still highlighted a brewpub), and how did that work for you? Any suggestions/information will be welcome! Please message me off list (especially if it involves confession 😊). Thanks so much for your time, as always! -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.
