Province modernizes its liquor rules
EDMONTON- Changes are coming to the province’s liquor regulations for restaurants, bars and hotels.
The Notley government says it is modernizing its liquor rules which means starting now, restaurants and bars are able to “mix liquor products with ingredients such as spices, herbs and fruits, as well as create house-aged liquor products.”
Hotel guests will also be able to take their drinks purchased at the bar/lounge to their rooms or other areas of the hotel.
“Alberta makes some of the best liquor in the country. But some regulations were constraining restaurants and bars from being creative and limiting Albertans’ enjoyment. That’s why we are bringing in common-sense changes, like being able to take your wine from the hotel bar back to your room. This is in addition to previous changes that allowed for craft beer and liquor to be sold at farmer’s markets and more open patio policies,” says Joe Ceci, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance.
