RECOMMENDATION: Conditionally approve an All Beverage License for Bozeman Taproom at
101 N Rouse Ave, Bozeman, MT 59715 for Calendar year 2019. The Bozeman Taproom has been
approved by the state for an all beverage retail alcohol license. The City Commission approved a
modification to the Tap Room’s conditional use permit in March of 2017 to go from beer and wine to
full beverage. They have complied with state laws and have completed the City’s application process

Based on the procedures for issuance of a state alcohol license, at the time of submission of this
application the Tap Room did not have a state issued license. However, they provided the attached
letter from the state outlining the required contingencies. The Commission’s approval of a license
pursuant to Chapter 4 of the Bozeman Municipal Code will require the Tap Room to provide the City
Treasurer a final copy of the state issued full beverage license prior to the issuance by the Treasurer of
the City’s alcohol license. Upon presentation of the state license, the required condition will be met.
