Liquor Licenses Granted and Refused in Indiana License Court
In Indiana the license court granted one license including the Indian Brewery and refused three others for hotels and venues. Judge Telford filed an opinion denying the Indian Brewery license, though a state license will allow limited operation. The decision triggers stock disposal issues and protests from the brewing company amid wage and trade impacts. The Moore House petition involving Lollar’s Moore hotel license was debated, with formal applications to be submitted for further hearings and the court’s decision forthcoming.
