FILE - Cases of beer are stacked next to each other in a Milwaukee liquor store, Nov. 8, 2018. A pair of Wisconsin wedding barns sued the state Tuesday, May 7, 2024, seeking to block enactment of a new law that requires them to get liquor licenses similar to other establishments that host events. last year to kill the law that overhauled regulation of the state’s multibillion-dollar liquor industry.
The new law requires such venues to either get a permit or license to sell or allow alcohol legally starting in 2026. Currently, wedding barns and other private event venues don’t need liquor licenses to operate, and many contract with licensed vendors to provide alcohol at events.
Neither of the wedding barns that filed that lawsuit has a liquor license. They also don’t sell or provide alcohol, but both allow for those who rent the facility and their guests to bring alcohol and consume it on site.
