"Beer" is being pulled off the shelves!
You scared me for a minute there. Then I saw that it was only Coors and Miller [barf]
-
So they are too shutdown to fail to renew the licence but not too shutdown to enforce the law?
-
To horse! On to Minnesota.
If we get there in tme and offer to buy the beer at a discount (hey, 10 cents on the dollar is better better than no cents on the dollar, right?) we might be able to prevent all those retailers from going into bankruptcy, as well as preventing the breweries from laying off scores of folks who cannot get unemployment insurance since the offices where they would apply are already closed.
Why, we'd be actual heroes!
stay safe.

They're too shut down to accept checks and process licenses to sell a product they'll collect taxes on, but they're not too shut down to keep a spokeman for the Department of Public Safety on the job???
So they need papers to stay in business . . . but the state isn't issuing papers. Didn't Chicago get spanked by SCOTUS on their gun law that required handguns to be registered, but they were refusing to register handguns? Sort of similar, in a way . . .

That is beer? More like bumping uglies in a canoe.

Hmmm... the state refused to honor the renewal, and included payment, because the check was too big? That's like the power company saying "we can't take payment for your $90 light bill because you sent us $100."
Refusal of payment for incomplete renewal documentation or violations of licensing is one thing. Refusal of payment because the check is too big is another. Sounds like MillerCoors has an ironclad case for, at the very least, monetary damages based on loss of sales and legal fees.
I see this one getting resolved PDQ as it's a massive public relations disaster for the .gov.

To be fair 41magsnub did put the word beer in quotes.

[miller rep]"tha last agent said to ALWAYS add an extra 100k!"

Sounds like they just created a run on Miller products.
I wonder... do any other products sold in MN require a branding license?

Those things will be easy, but can you come up with at least 2 working 23 channel CB radios?

Trade them for beer?

Folks wonder why I keep a two case reserve in the closet.

That's easy.....go to any Pilot or Flying J truck stop...they have cases of them.....with whip antennas and matching fuzzy dice..... =D

I don't wonder that.
I do wonder just how many products this applies to, and just how damn big your closet is! :laugh:
-
I don't wonder that.

Quite a few. And quite large, surprisingly. I'm working on reorganizing it, starting to look pretty good
