World of Beer has withdrawn its application for a liquor license

according to an e-mail I just got from Ward 6 Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz. So there is no need to attend tonight's Licensing Commission hearing unless you want to support or oppose one of the other applicants (such as Aguacate Verde).

No, Aguacate Verde did not get a license. All special alcohol and farmer winery licenses were granted. Yoshi's received the one wine and malt license. The transfer to 14 McGrath Highway was approved (it was taken out of order on the agenda). I left before the others were voted on.

Thanks. Do you know why they said no?

Hi Ron,

I don't recall exact words, but in summary...there are numerous places throughout Somerville that serve similar cuisine and that the City didn't see this as the type of place that would warrant an all forms license.
