Discussion centered on the law concerning who <br />could serve at a tasting. Members concluded the licensee or an employee had to do <br />the serving. Theyunderstood how a representative of the brewer would be involved in <br />the tasting and feel compelled to help out. The conclusion was the warning by the <br />police department was appropriate and there was no desire for further action. Carlson <br />suggested the tastings restrictions be addressed in the training provided by the police <br />department. <br />Authority Attorney Culley pointed out C.R.S. §12-47-901(7)(a) may have been violated <br />by giving free beer andinfluencingthe purchase. Discussion centered onwhether <br />there reallywas a violation, knowing other establishments have brewers in and have <br />given free beer with apurchase; is it really influencing the purchase or just marketing. <br />For future reference, the Authority asked Attorney Culley to do some research and help <br />them determine if this was a violation. <br />Secretary’s Report <br />Secretary Hanson noted she had included the schedule for next year’s meetings.
