Governor Cooper has signed SB 527, the ABC Omnibus Bill, into law, marking a major victory for NCRLA and our members. This law modernizes North Carolina’s ABC system, allowing mixed beverage permittees to start selling cocktails to-go immediately, among other provisions. Key Provisions for To-Go Cocktails: -Cocktails to-go are now permanent -Alcohol must be sold with food -Containers must have a secure lid or cap and be no larger than 24 fluid ounces -Sales are limited to one mixed beverage or two single-serving wine containers at a time -Third-party delivery services must use age verification and deliver only to purchasers over 21 These changes provide greater flexibility and new opportunities for our hospitality industry. #NCRLA #Hospitality #CocktailsToGo #NCGA #NCPOL

How would you rate your business for commitment and intent? I was in some of the early planning meetings at Wiper and True (that’s where my involvement starts and ends I can take no credit for the end result) around launching alcohol free beers. The intention was clear, to take the time and resource needed to make them world class. We’ve all been in those meetings when lofty ambitions fill the room and everyone gets excited then slowly, over time, without anyone really knowing why, that energy and focus wanes.

Should it be an alcohol-free version of Kaleidoscope the flagship beer or something else in case it was perhaps seen as “lesser” because of the alcohol-free aspect? The decision was made to call it Kaleidoscope – a clear commitment to achieving the standards originally set out and confidence that everyone working on the project was intent on operating to that level. Many, many months later and Wiper and True have just scooped awards for Kaleidoscope and Tomorrow at the world alcohol free awards. A reward not only for all the hard work, but the commitment and intent by everyone involved to achieving that goal. Congratulations to Michael Wiper everyone at Wiper and True involved. As you come up for air at the end of the first quarter (a good thing to do), how strong is the commitment and intent within your business t

"The alcohol beverage business is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. A wide variety of enterprises engage in the retail sale of alcohol beverages, including hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, golf courses, fraternal organizations, private clubs, supermarkets, gas stations, convenience stores, amusement parks, public sports arenas, theaters, entertainment venues, museums, and universities. Yet, these diverse enterprises all have one thing in common: from the smallest mom-and-pop grocery store to the largest publicly held hotel chain, each business must be licensed by the appropriate governmental agency before selling alcohol."
