Shifting Montana brewery tap room serving hours to noon-10pm makes sense because it:
  • Shifts, but does not increase, tap room serving 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 reinvestment 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 or 8pm
  • Aligns better with other regional state's laws, which have no hours restrictions
  • Helps Montana small businesses grow jobs and make investments
  • Supports a viable, growing, and responsible industry in the state
  • Aligns with winery laws, which have no serving hours restrictions

We are approaching one hundred signatures and need to hit this milestone before I submit our formal briefing to the legislative committee. Please send the link to industry peers who can verify the impact of these operating hours on local jobs.

Finally. Its ridiculous that wineries can stay open but breweries get shut down so early. Fix it.

about time. 8pm is way too early to wrap things up on a friday night. lets get with the times.

Totally agree. breweries are a huge part of our culture here and this would really help them out.
