Council approves Hammocks’ on-premise beer permit for 425 Eagle Bend Road
Summary
The beer board approved a Class C on-premise beer permit for Hammocks, to sell bottled and canned beer and hold regular events; applicants confirmed staff will hold ABC training for servers and noted penalties for selling to minors.
The beer board approved a Class C on-premise beer permit for Hammocks, a business operated by Jason and Arisha Hammock at 425 Eagle Bend Road in Clinton.
The permit approval came after the applicant, Jason Hammock, described plans to sell packaged beer from local vendors and to host regular downtown events. "We won't have it on tap. We'll sell bottle and cans for the longest. If we get to the point where we can put it on tap, that's what we plan on doing," Hammock said.
The board and staff discussed server training and enforcement. Jason Hammock said staff and servers 18 and older will obtain the Alcoholic Beverage Commission (ABC) license. "All of them are getting the ABC license," Hammock said. A staff member noted that the first offense for selling to a minor "has traditionally been $1,500," and emphasized the board's expectation that the business take underage sales seriously.
A motion to approve the permit was moved and seconded during the board meeting and was adopted without recorded dissent. Meeting minutes show the board concluded with "Motion passed. Beer board meeting." The motion record did not identify the mover or seconder by name in the transcript.
The approval allows Hammocks to sell packaged beer at the stated address; Hammock said tap service is a future possibility, not part of the initial plan. The board did not attach additional permit conditions beyond the discussion of ABC training and the enforcement reminder.
