Beer Brd R 293 260721

The Knoxville Community Media Beer Board convened on July 21, 2026, to review and approve various beer permits and special event alcohol permits. The board approved multiple applications pending final documentation such as certificates of occupancy, health department approvals, and surrender of existing permits. Several special event permits were granted for community festivals and charitable events, including a 9/11 first responders tribute and cultural festivals. The board also discussed compliance issues, including underage alcohol sales and failure of some permit holders to complete mandatory alcohol seller training, leading to a motion to refer one business to a suspension or revocation hearing. No new contracts or budget allocations were discussed, but the board emphasized regulatory compliance and permit management.
