Does anyone know what the laws are around drinking in Minneapolis parks? I seem to recall that you can drink 3.2 beer. I was recently pleasantly surprised to see a Ballast Point beer at a SuperAmerica (I think it was Even Keel). Does anyone have recommendations for decent 3.2 beers?
Not sure on the laws but we started tackling the beer options in this thread: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/good-3-2-beers.500906/
There's also this old thread: https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/minneapolis-parks-only-allow-3-2-beer-in-cans.188503/ And here's the actual code -- PB-217: https://www.municode.com/library/mn..._CH2GEREGOCO#PAREBOCOOR_CH2GEREGOCO_.2-17ALUS
"PB2-17. - Alcohol use. No person or entity shall serve, dispense or consume any alcohol on park property except as specifically authorized herein. Alcohol may be served, dispensed or consumed on park property only pursuant to a permit issued by the superintendent or authorized by board action. Any such permit or authorization for the serving and dispensing of alcohol shall be conditioned upon the requesting person or entity providing proof of the existence of adequate insurance coverage as required by its liquor license and state law and naming the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board as an additional insured on such insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person or entity may serve or dispense alcohol for consumption unless: (1) the person or entity has obtained all necessary licenses that may be required under the laws of the State of Minnesota and any governing political subdivision; and (2) the person or entity complies with all applicable laws, rules or regulations promulgated by the State of Minnesota and any governing political subdivision regarding the serving or dispensing of alcohol for consumption. The park board may establish policies and regulations consistent with this ordinance to govern the serving, dispensing, and consumption of alcohol for venues, public, and private events. "
