Board of License Commissioners November 10, 2026

The Carroll County Board of License Commissioners met on November 10, 2026. No contracts, bids, vendor awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. The board approved a new Class B beer-and-wine license for Tatiana and Steven Sarvo’s Creamabella at 1622 North Main Street, Hampstead, pending approvals from other agencies. It also approved participation in Sykesville’s November 14 Craft Beer Festival for Locomotive, EW Beck, 7556 Main Street, Patapsco Distilling Company, and The Vine on Main. In an underage-sale violation case involving Westminster National Golf Course, the board found the licensees culpable and approved a $300 fine. For Ernie’s Place, commissioners agreed to request fourth-quarter and year-end sales figures before considering any further action regarding its food-versus-alcohol sales mix.

The board discussed possible revisions to its rules, including LLC ownership disclosures, corporate-name changes, labeling and storage requirements for infused spirits, and adding provisions concerning service to underage or intoxicated patrons. These changes were not adopted at this meeting; the board planned to hold a public hearing in December and vote in January. Commissioners also discussed a 2027 retail seminar and a no-cost Fire and Police Training Center venue, compared with a $400 facility charge at Carroll County Community College; the date and logistics remained to be confirmed.
