Just a few weeks after they opened, Crooked Stave Barrel Cellar in Denver has been ordered by the Colorado Department of Revenue to stop selling draft beer. Details from Westword:
The Crooked Stave Barrel Cellar, which opened just a few weeks ago, has been ordered by the Colorado Department of Revenue to stop selling beer on draft.
"They have a wholesaler's license, not a manufacturing license, so they can only sell alcohol for off-premises consumption," says Mark Couch, a spokesman for the department, which licenses all alcohol-related businesses in Colorado.
To be able to sell draft beer, Crooked Stave needs to apply for a manufacturer's license, Couch explains. Although he can't discuss the details of the investigation, he says an agent with the department's liquor and tobacco enforcement division visited Crooked Stave last week after receiving a tip about the licensing issue.
Crooked Stave, which specializes in wild and sour ales, can still sell bottles from its location at 1441 West 46th Avenue, but those bottles can't be opened on-site.
