The ability to sell cocktails to-go will disappear by December 21, 2021, unless we tell the Governor we still want this revenue source for our businesses.
State Senate Bill 389 (SB 389) – making permanent the ability to sell cocktails to-go – has made its way through the legislative floor and is currently on the Governor’s desk. We need to tell him to sign it NOW!
Through the California Alcoholic Beverage Control, SB 389 will permanently allow establishments described as a “bonafide public eating place,” including breweries, wineries, and craft distillers, to package prepared alcoholic beverages to go.
In less than a minute, you can show your support for this bill by sending an email to Governor Newsom.
