AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

This bill creates a new type of liquor license for beer gardens. Beer gardens are outdoor venues that operate at least 5 months, of each year and are independent of any other licensed establishment. The licensing and operation of beer gardens provides new business creation opportunities and a chance to enhance retail areas in Delaware. However, the General Assembly is also mindful of concerns that by creating a license for outdoor space, existing businesses could be affected. For this reason, the definition of a beer garden includes stringent requirements that will limit the number of establishments that could be eligible for a license issued pursuant to this Act. The biennial fee for a beer garden license is set at $2,000.
