The City Council may authorize issuance to: (1) a club or charitable, religious or non-profit organization, in existence for at least three years, a temporary license for the on-sale of intoxicating liquor; (2) a brewer that manufactures less than 3,500 barrels of malt liquor in a year and is licensed by the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety a temporary license for the on-sale of malt liquor produced by the brewer; and (3) a microdistillery as defined herein and licensed by the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety for a temporary license for the on-sale of distilled spirits manufactured by the microdistillery, provided the on-sale is in connection with a social event within the city sponsored by the licensee. The temporary license herein may not be for more than four consecutive days, and may authorize on-sales on premises other than premises the licensee owns or permanently occupies. A license issued to a club or charitable, religious or non-profit organization may provide that the licensee may contract for liquor catering services with the holder of a full-year on-sale liquor license issued by a municipality. The licenses are subject to the terms, including the license fee, normally imposed by the city. The licenses issued under this Section are subject to all laws and ordinances governing the sale of alcoholic beverages, including furnishing a form of proof of financial responsibility as provided in § 111.28(C). Temporary licenses must first be approved by the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety before they become valid.
