SHIFTING MONTANA TAP ROOM HOURS TO NOON-10PM MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IT:

• Shifts, but does not increase, tap room operating hours
• Meets the expectations of Montanans and the visiting public and tourists
• Provides for growth in the use of Montana grown agricultural products
• Creates jobs at Montana breweries
• Enables reinvest in brewing capacity at Montana breweries
• Lifts unneeded restrictions that inhibit industry growth
• Supports free enterprise concepts in the marketplace
• Better fits with many Montana worker’s schedules, who work past 7, 8pm
• Aligns better with other regional state’s laws (have no hours restrictions)
• Helps Montana small businesses grow jobs and make investments  
• Supports a viable, growing, and productive industry in the state
• Aligns with wineries laws, which have no serving hours restrictions
