HB 182 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relating to live music and entertainment at breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

HB 182 modifies Alaska's licensing rules for breweries, wineries, and distilleries by allowing limited live music and entertainment. Specifically, license holders may now host up to four live music events or other entertainment performances annually, along with educational displays about their products and community fundraisers. The bill removes previous bans on live music, disc jockeys, karaoke, and TVs during consumption, while maintaining existing restrictions on seating at bars, opening before 9 a.m., and serving after 9 p.m. It directly affects businesses holding retail licenses for alcohol production and sales. The changes apply uniformly across breweries, wineries, and distilleries under Alaska Statutes 04.09.320, 04.09.330, and 04.09.340.
