Deep Roots event seeks one‑day pouring permit; board to consider expedited approval
Summary
Representatives for Deep Roots Distillery asked the board to allow Friends of Brookfield to hold a one‑day pouring permit for a July 24 event; the board discussed nonprofit holder requirements and agreed to consider a short special meeting next week if needed.
Shelby Hill said she was speaking on behalf of Deep Roots Distillery and the Cultural Council and asked that Friends of Brookfield (a nonprofit) be allowed to hold a one‑day pouring permit for an event scheduled July 24. "They reached out to me… they've asked Friends of Brookfield to do that," Hill said.
Board members noted state alcohol licensing rules require a nonprofit holder for all‑alcohol pouring permits and discussed whether the event could be limited to beer and wine for the July 24 date if nonprofit approval could not be secured in time. Hill said she would contact the Friends of Brookfield members immediately and would submit the permit application; the board suggested a short special meeting next week to act if necessary.
No final vote on a full all‑alcohol permit appears in the transcript; board members indicated willingness to expedite consideration and directed staff to coordinate scheduling and paperwork.
What’s next: applicant to submit paperwork and the town will either consider the permit at the next regular meeting or hold a brief special meeting next week to decide.
