Alaska alcohol industry reacts to proposed legislative changes some say would create more level playing field

that the bill would provide a “more level playing field” for the alcohol industry.

The latest legislative bill is another effort to reform the industry, and he understands the “jubilation” that brewery owners would have for the legislation. A beverage dispensary license can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, McDonald counters that the amount of money a brewery has to spend on manufacturing equipment can be in the millions of dollars.

“But such equipment can last decades, where bars must constantly resupply and upgrade their establishments every couple years,” Dave wrote. “Additionally, the insurance rates of a bar versus a distillery is such a wide disparity that is hardly accounted for in the argument for this bill.”
