World of Beer liquor license hearing, this Monday 4/22

[ron_newman]

ETA 4/22: World of Beer has withdrawn its application for a liquor license, so there is no need to attend this hearing unless you want to support or oppose one of the other applicants.

I'll leave the earlier post intact here for future reference.

More from Ward 6 Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz:

World of Beer is going to try to seek a liquor license this coming Monday night, 4/22 at 6pm at the Tufts Administration Building at 167 Holland St. See item #22 on this agenda: http://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/agendas/04-22-2013.pdf

This liquor license hearing is open to the public and I encourage you to attend to express your point of view on this establishment entering Davis Square. I have deep concerns that they are trying to move forward with a license when there was clearly a lot of concern from the community at the meeting and I have expressed our deep reservations to the applicant and their attorney.

I have a conflicting meeting on Monday night at city hall that I am chairing on the Styrofoam ban at 6pm. I am going to try to be at both but I'm not sure yet how I will do this. I have emailed the clerk of the liquor license commission and asked that this application be continued so there is more time for community process. Again, I would encourage attendance at this liquor license meeting on Monday night.

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to talk about this further.

Best wishes and please stay safe,

Rebekah Gewirtz

Looks to me like they are applying for one of the city's newly-authorized liquor licenses. I'd much rather see it go to one of the other applicants: Aguacate Verde (formerly Tacos Lupita) at 13 Elm St.

Says that there are 5 available, though.

True. But the city obtained these new licenses from the state legislature for the purpose of helping local restaurants to get them. World of Beer is not the type of establishment they are intended for.

What kind of establishment is it? (As a beer aficionado, I found the name intriguing.)
