As the city filed it

Saulter Street Brewery Inc. has submitted an application for a new liquor licence tied to a manufacturer (a "Tied House Licence") to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for the premises at 31 Saulter Street, Unit 1, operating under the name Saulter Street Brewery (the "Premises"). The applicant is seeking an indoor capacity for 100 patrons, and an outdoor licenced patio with a capacity of 30 patrons. The Premises is currently operating as a brewery and restaurant, and is serving their brewed beer at the Premises under a Manufacturers Limited Sales Licence.

This type of liquor licence permits the sale of product brewed on site with certain restrictions, such as serving beer in glasses no larger than 341ml, and the service must stop at 9:00 pm daily. The Tied House Licence the applicant has applied for would permit the sale of beer manufactured at the Premises as if the Premises had a regular liquor licence, without the restrictions associated with a Manufacturers Limited Sales Licence. The Premises is located immediately adjacent to a residential area. The operation of the establishment currently impacts neighbouring residents, and the residents and the local Councillor's office are concerned that if the Tied House Licence is approved the impacts will worsen and occur later in the evening. The impacts relate to noise, safety, litter, and other matters. This application for a Tied House Licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. This matter is deemed urgent as the deadline to object to the liquor licence application is April 2, 2019.
