RiverLink’s Fall Salon Series — a season of seminars to support the nonprofit’s mission of making the French Broad River “a place for everyone to live, learn, work and play” — kicks off with a presentation and Q&A session led by special agent Stacy Cox of the Western District Alcohol Law Enforcement. The free class (registration required) will cover the ALE’s rules on serving alcohol at events and establishments of all types and takes place at RiverLinkson Friday, Sept. 4, at 3 p.m.
“This seminar should prove interesting and enlightening to local brewers and anyone who sells or serves alcohol,” reads the release. “Not knowing and following the rules can lead to litigation, embarrassment and suspension of permits for future fundraising events.”
The educational opportunity comes in the wake of several costly issues between the ALE and local beercentric festivals like Oskar Blues’ Burning Can Festival and the recently canceled inaugural Mountain Brew Fest.
