Committee approves beer tent at Old Home Days event by Trinity Brewhouse

During the Foster Town Council meeting on April 11, 2025, a significant discussion centered around the request for a beer tent at the upcoming Foster Old Home Days. The council addressed the procedural aspects of this request, highlighting the role of Trinity Brewhouse, the company that would operate the beer tent.

The council members clarified that they do not manage the logistics of the Foster Old Home Days, which includes food trucks and other vendors. Instead, these events are typically handled by the organizing committee, which is "grandfathered in" to operate without needing council approval for certain aspects. However, the discussion revealed that Trinity Brewhouse holds a valid state liquor license, allowing them to operate the beer tent legally under state statutes.

Council members agreed that as long as Trinity Brewhouse submits a copy of their liquor license to the town hall before the event, no further action from the council is necessary. A motion was made and seconded to approve the beer tent at Old Home Days, which passed unanimously.

This decision reflects the council's commitment to supporting local events while adhering to state regulations. The approval of the beer tent is expected to enhance the community atmosphere during the Old Home Days, providing attendees with additional options for refreshments. As the event approaches, the council will continue to monitor any further requirements or developments related to the festivities.
