Alcohol delivery: How to stay in compliance

Rules that allow liquor to-go and alcohol delivery in Washington are great wins for our industry, but if we want to see these rules become permanent, ensuring compliance is important. Remember, liquor license holders are ultimately the ones who are responsible and accountable for ensuring compliance with all liquor laws and rules.

The sale of alcohol products in factory-  and manufacturer–sealed containers through curbside, takeout, and delivery service is currently allowed and the rule is set to expire on July 1, 2023. Licensees may only sell the types of manufacturer- sealed alcohol products that they are authorized to sell under the terms of their license, and the packaging must be clearly marked as alcohol for persons 21 and older.

 

Endorsement application process: LCB approval needed before offering alcohol-to go

In 2021, the Legislature passed House Bill 1480, which contained crucial relief for hospitality businesses. Your government affairs team fought hard to secure temporary alcohol to-go allowances to open more potential revenue streams during the various lockdowns. These temporary allowances are set to expire on July 1, 2023.

In the 2023 legislative session, before the current temporary allowance ends, we will be working hard to make alcohol to-go permanent in Washington. Operators that are considering alcohol to-go should show their enthusiastic support for this policy so we can make it a permanent option in Washington state. That starts with filling out this application. It is free and only takes a few minutes to complete. Read below for more information on what the state Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) requires for operators who are offering alcohol to-go.
