The Gillette Mainstreet Committee is requesting a malt beverage permit to host Gillette Brewfest 2014. This event will allow microbreweries from around Wyoming to promote and serve their brew to the public.

Because microbreweries do not have the type of license that would allow them to dispense their product outside of their licensed dispensing room, organizations can acquire a malt beverage permit that will allow the microbrewery to serve their product outside of their licensed rooms. The organization who acquires the malt beverage permit must purchase the brewed product from each participating microbrewery prior to the event, and then the organization can sell tickets to the public that can be presented to the microbrewery vendor for the beer. The microbreweries are not allowed to sell their product directly to the public at these events.

A street closure is also being requested to barricade a portion of Gillette Avenue between Second and Fourth Streets and on Third Street between Kendrick and the alley just before Warren Avenue to accommodate the set up for this event. The planned serving/consumption area will be from Third Street to Fourth Street on Gillette Avenue. If the construction is not complete within this area then the serving/consumption area will relocate between Second and Third Streets.

Other activities such as face painting and a live band are also scheduled. 

The Police Dept has reviewed and approved the Malt Beverage Permit.

I Move for the Approval of a Malt Beverage Permit Requested by the Gillette Mainstreet Committee for Gillette Brewfest 2014, to be Held on September 20th from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., that will Include Outdoor Music.
