HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners will look over a resolution on Tuesday to bring a vote on liquor by the drink back before voters as soon as next year.
The proposal, if approved, would remove the required 30% food sales requirement for liquor by the drink.
Sandhills Brewery had an issue with their liquor license this time around as just weeks before their deadline they had not sold enough food to maintain compliance. Pippin Williamson, owner of Sandhills was before the commission requesting the vote after a herculean effort by the community got enough food purchased for this renewal.
In order to put the question on the ballot in November of 2023, the commission would need to pass language to that effect and that would then need to be approved by the Kansas Secretary of State's office.
It is too close to this year's election for it to be on the 2022 ballot as those have already been printed and advance voting is already underway.
