Beer aficionados of St. Louis Park might soon have a fresh spot to collect their favorite local brews if Haggard Barrel Brewing Company gets the green light from the city. The City of St. Louis Park City Council is slated to hold a public hearing on Monday, February 5, at 6:30 p.m., to discuss the company's application for a brewer's off-sale malt liquor license, which would enable the sale of beer to go from their location at 6413 Cambridge Street, according to a recent public notice.
Community members interested in learning more or having their say can do so by showing up at the council meeting in the Council Chambers at St. Louis Park City Hall, located at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd, or by tuning in online for a live video and audio feed, the city's official website provides further details on how to watch. Haggard Barrel Brewing, doing business as Haggard Barrel Brewing, is aiming to bring its crafted brews beyond the bar taps and into the hands of beer lovers looking to enjoy them from the comfort of their own homes, provided they win council approval.
Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk, by order of the city council, has mandated that if anyone needs special accommodations for the hearing or has questions, they can reach out by calling 952-924-2505. To partake in the city's decision-making process, members of the public can attend the hearing in person or can submit their comments to the city council by emailing [email protected] by noon on the day of the meeting, and these emailed comments will be handed to the council members for review and deliberation at the meeting.
Citizens not able to contribute in person still have a way to make their opinions heard; submitted comments will be shared with the city council, making sure that all voices have the chance to be part of the important licensing process, the move represents a potential boon for the local brewing scene and Haggard Barrel Brewing's plan to widen its retail footprint in the city.
