Does that actually recoup? Or are they buying those licenses to use in more populated areas? (curious if they are tied to the town or not)

- ewhanley 7y agoIf I remember correctly, it depends on when and by what authority they were issued. I think some are specific to a town whereas others extend to the whole county.
- ewhanley 7y agoAs with Uber and medallions, the increasing popularity of craft breweries able to operate with an inexpensive license has led to some big legislative battles. The Montana Tavern Association (MTA, liquor license holders) try to crush the craft breweries every legislative session. They have limited the taphouses to some extent: they can only serve four pints per person per day and they have to close at 8 PM. Also similar to Uber vs taxi drivers the general public likes the breweries and the MTA struggles to maintain a popular image while trying to legislate away erosion of their license values.
