On Tap For Pour Decisions Brewery: Creation of Roseville "Taproom Liquor License"?

The Roseville Council will hold a public hearing on July 16 on whether to create a so-called “taproom” liquor license that would allow Pour Decisions Brewery to sell pints and growlers from their 1744 Terrace Drive location.

The new on-sale category would exempt the brewery from a food sale requirement, said Chris Miller, the city’s finance director.

“Every brewery can have a relatively small taproom,” Miller said. “The difference is that you can charge them for tastes.”

Kristen England, Pour Decisions’ co-founder, said the brewery would likely open its 22-seat taproom from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

“It’s basically an opportunity for us to increase our business and make beers that we wouldn’t be able to put in big production,” England said.

B.J. Haun, the brewery’s other co-founder, said he wanted the taproom to be community friendly and non-disruptive, the reason for the early close time.

“We don’t want to run a bar or nightclub,” Haun said.
