ABCC, Nantucket licensing staff warn: buy only from Massachusetts wholesalers; new limits on alcohol-to-go
Summary
State Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission staff told Nantucket licensees they must buy alcohol from Massachusetts wholesalers, avoid pirated or out-of-state product, and follow new rules for delivery and to‑go cocktails; violations can lead to confiscation and license discipline.
State and local licensing officials told Nantucket licensees on Tuesday that they must buy alcohol only from Massachusetts wholesalers or manufacturers, and outlined how delivery, “to‑go” cocktails and recorked wine rules now work.
At a town licensing seminar, ABCC investigator Ralph (last name not stated) said, “An authorized source is any Massachusetts wholesaler or any Massachusetts manufacturer. The key is Massachusetts.” He warned that product bought from out‑of‑state package stores or unknown trucks can be seized and destroyed and that licensees who accept unauthorized stock risk Commission sanctions.
