06-17-26 Beverage Licensing Authority Meeting

The City of Boulder Beverage Licensing Authority held a meeting on June 17, 2026, primarily focused on liquor license renewals, compliance issues, and premises modifications. Key procurement-related discussions included the renewal of a fermented malt beverage and wine retailer off-premise liquor license for Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc., where the applicant acknowledged late filing but demonstrated improved internal training and renewal processes to prevent future delays. The board approved the renewal after reviewing the applicant's compliance and training programs. Additionally, Two-Stepin' Brewing Inc. sought approval for a modification to their brewery permanent sales room to include a patio area, following a recent municipal code change excluding patios from square footage calculations. The board approved this expansion, noting the applicant's compliance and community benefits. No contract awards, RFPs, or budget allocations were discussed. The meeting also covered scheduling of future retreat dates and administrative updates from the licensing clerk.
