Date Petition Received 09/12/2011
Petitioner W. R. Moore
 Petitioner's Request
The petitioner has requested that the board allow the use of growlers, reusable containers for the sale of beer, by gourmet shop licensees.  Currently, only persons licensed to sell beer for both on- and off-premises consumption may sell beer in growlers, under the provisions of 3 VAC 5-40-40.
 Agency Plan
Following the public comment period, the board will consider amending 3 VAC 5-40-40 to allow the sale of beer in growlers by gourmet shop licensees.
