Frequently Asked Questions

• OPERATING THE BUSINESS

Can anyone bring their own beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages into an establishment (so-called "BYOB")?

Not if the establishment has a liquor license. If the establishment has a liquor license, then no one can carry onto the premises their own beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages for their own private consumption (so-called "BYOB" or "brown-bagging").

If the establishment does not have a liquor license, then one must check with the city/town in which the establishment is located to learn if there is any local law dealing with bringing one's own beer onto an establishment for personal consumption.
