Wetumpka and Millbrook will be allowed to sale and distribute draft beer by retail licensees of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board within the city. However, keg beer may not be sold for off-premises consumption. Local bill HB81 states may authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption by restaurants, hotels and nightclubs which hold retail licensees of the ABC Board; on on Sunday’s between 12 p.m. noon and 9:30 p.m. only. The bills will now have to be approved by the council with a resolution or ordinance.
