Luverne Brew Partners gets license for 128-ounce offsale at Take 16 Brewing Co.

Luverne City Council members acted on a series of agenda items relating to Take 16 Brewing Company at their Tuesday, June 28, meeting.
In May the state lawmakers passed legislation that allows small brewers (producing 7,500 barrels or less) to sell up to 128 ounces of beer per customer per day that could be packaged in any approved container to go.
By statute, cities need to amend their ordinances in order to allow a license for off-sale of up to 128 ounces per customer per day for breweries.
At their June 28 meeting, Luverne council members adopted an ordinance amending the city’s code for alcoholic beverages to add “Off-Sale Malt Liquor 128 Ounces.”
Also, Luverne Brew Partners, doing business as Take 16, formally requested an off-sale malt liquor license for the 128-ounce off-sale containers.
The license, which costs the same as the 64-ounce growler, is good from July 7, 2022, through Dec. 31.
In related business, Luke Rensink, representing Luverne Brew Partners, applied for a temporary on-sale liquor license for Ag Appreciation Day and Cardinal Pride Weekend events.
Sales and consumption for Ag Appreciation will be limited to Take 16 Brewing Company’s premises, parking lot, and closed off street area.
Also included in the request is a street closure (Main Street from Oakley to Blue Mound) submitted by Don Dinger.
The Ag Appreciation event is scheduled for Aug. 20 from 3 p.m. to midnight.
Sales and consumption for Cardinal Pride Weekend events will be at the main Luverne City Park on Saturday, July 16, 2022.
Luverne City Council members approved the temporary liquor licenses and private use of public right-of-way for Luverne Brew Partners.
