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.

more than three days.

method 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

that the actual sellers of the beer will not have to check IDs. If the event exceeds one
