Piping Rock Distillery 0 Posted June 30, 2015 We have a local distillery that just opened here in upstate NY and I noticed they are selling mixed drinks. Isn't this totally illegal for a distillery to be doing. Don't you need a liquor license to do that? You can't get that license for a tasting room, correct. This is the second distillery to go on line around here in the last few months that I've seen do this? Kind of unfair to the other distilleries who are abiding by the rules.

philf34 1 Posted June 30, 2015 A new bill was signed in December that allows us to sell cocktails without a special license. The farm distillers license now allows this. We are about to open and are now in discussions on whether we sell cocktails as well. Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mash 7 Posted June 30, 2015 That will be a huge boost to the bottom line. Make some money, be profitable, cause it's tough in VA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
