TEMPORARY 3.2 BEER LICENSES
1. PURPOSE
1.01 The Hopkins City Council recognizes that the issuance of temporary 3.2 beer licenses
may result in events which disturb surrounding businesses and residents and also may
provide an opportunity for underage drinking. The City Council believes that by creating
a set of rules and regulations in regard to the issuance of these licenses, problems can be
avoided and the responsible consumption of 3.2 beer can be encouraged.

for checking identification to ensure that underage individuals do not purchase beer:
Anyone wishing to purchase beer must have a either a driver's license, or a Minnesota ID

actual sellers of the beer will not have to check IDs. If the event exceeds one day, a
different color of ink must be used on subsequent days.

2.10 The number of temporary 3.2 beer licenses issued in conjunction with all public events2
