The Mayor and Council will hold a public hearing on a proposed zoning change that would allow breweries and distilleries to operate in the City of Rockville at their
September 11 meeting at 7:00 PM. If approved, the change would allow full production of alcoholic beverages in light and heavy industrial zones, and in mixed-use employment zones.
Microbreweries and pub breweries with limited production would also be allowed to locate in mixed-use business, mixed-use transit district, mixed-use corridor district and mixed-use employment zones. To testify at the hearing, call (240) 314-8280 before 4:00 PM on September 11 to sign up.
Isn't there already a distiller in Rockville? http://www.twinvalleydistillers.com
ReplyDeleteI do not know what the distinction is, but I assume there must be one if the city is proposing a change in the law.
DeleteWhy is the beer in the photo so cloudy... it looks like rancid urine.
ReplyDelete8:58: It was supposed to look like that. As 9:21 mentioned, it was a high-quality Blue Jacket craft beer with a cloudy appearance.
DeleteObviously you are not a craft beer drinker.
ReplyDeleteThe current law on the books prohibits breweries, wineries and distilleries from being located a certain distance from schools (i'm unsure of the distance) so I'm thinking it might be something around changing that. Given how dense the county is with schools, there are only a few pockets where you can place them which is why we don't have very many.
