Maryland Breweries, Wineries, Distilleries Can Serve Outdoors, Allow Third-Party Shipment Of Alcohol, Gov. Hogan Says
ANNAPOLIS (WJZ) — After announcing the state's restaurants can serve customers outdoors, Gov. Larry Hogan issued another emergency order Friday expanding services for alcohol providers in Maryland.
State-licensed manufacturers of alcohol, including breweries, wineries and distilleries, will now be allowed to serve alcoholic beverages in outdoor seating areas, consistent with the same Department of Health directives for restaurants and bars.
REOPENING MARYLAND:
- Restaurants, VFWs, Elks Lodge Can Offer Outdoor Dining Starting Friday
- Youth Day Camps, Outdoor Pools, Drive-In Theaters Can Open With Some Restrictions
- What's Open, What's Closed County-By-County
They still have to follow the same guidelines, including seating people six feet apart from each other, only seating six people at a time at a table and follow the same sanitation guidelines as restaurants and bars.
The state will also allow third-party shipment to customers by carriers such as FedEx or UPS, which means people can order from these wineries, breweries and distilleries to their own homes.
