State public health officials released updated reopening guidelines, allowing breweries, wineries and distilleries to operate without serving meals regardless of their county’s tier.
Breweries, wineries and distilleries have been allowed to operate under restaurant guidance since last year, provided that they provide meals with alcoholic beverages. Alcohol vendors that did not provide meals, either from their own kitchens or a partnered vendor such as a food truck, had to remain closed in the purple and red tiers.
Starting today, that will change, according to the California Department of Public Health.
Breweries, wineries and distilleries in red and purple tier counties will be allowed to serve alcohol to customers outdoors, provided that those customers have reservations and do not stay for more than 90 minutes. On-site consumption without a meal must also end by 8 p.m.
In the orange tier, the affected businesses may also resume indoor operations at 25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer. Yellow tier restrictions increase those caps to 50 percent and 200 people, according to the CDPH.
Bars that do not serve meals in purple and red tier counties must remain closed while bars in orange tier counties will be allowed to operate outdoors with modifications and those in yellow tier counties will be allowed to operate indoors at 25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer.
State officials also announced that, beginning June 1, overnight sleepaway camps can resume with restrictions in red, orange and yellow tier counties.
“Provided that those customers have reservations and do not stay more than 90 minutes. On-site consumption without a meal must also end by 8 p.m.”
Only in control every move you make California.
Seems to be a patchwork of re-openings. Maybe better to set criteria over distance, disenfectance and masks based on infections and vaccinations.
Alcohol have disinfectant properties that helps fight covid so it’s in the public’s interest to serve alcohol without diluting it with food.
hasn’t gavin bewsom’s winery been doing this all along?

The State allows…allows. How merciful the State will allow wineries and breweries, makers and purveyors of wine and beer, to actually serve said wine and beer. How magnanimous the leaders of this Free State are, to permit these citizens such liberty.
Jeff, remember “you must learn to love big brother”…big brother is all wise and charitable…he will take care of you…somebody shoot me…
at least the dictionary will be easier for all the “educated” kalifornias. i heard the ministry of truth has reduced the English language to 100 words.

Seriously, Who are these clowns in Sacramento that write these ” guidelines” up? If you be a good little boy and girl, we will allow you 1 cookie for desert but you must finish your dinner by 8pm. And don’t even think about not having a reservation.
it seems to be rather chaotic with all these sudden rule – changes.
I want to hear a “we were wrong” from them
Don’t hold your breath. We’ll never even get an accurate death toll from COVID.
Oh, I see how this works… now that Gruesome Nuisance is actually in danger of facing a recall election (over 2 million signatures collected), he’s opening up all the booze places to keep the citizenry drunk and happy. Oldest trick in the world. The Romans did the same thing. They called it “panem et circenses” (bread and circus). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
Keep signing the petition – you have until March 17. The more that sign the more impact the message has: http://Www.recallgavin2020.com
Oh thank you master. And thank you head master for MAYBE allowing me to have a BBQ on the 4th of July with MAYBE a few of my friends and family. DEFINITELY NOT a large crowd. Oh no. And we’ll see what we’ll be able to do and not do after the summer passes. Do I forsee Green Passports as part of The Build Back Better Program??? Naa, that’s all conspiracy jibberish.
The King allows you peasants to come forth with yourselves but only as much as I say – and it’s confusing on purpose. Just like the idiotic gun laws.
If’s, and’s, only’s
All I’m hearing is excuses. Open everything, and if you’re afraid then stay TF at home. This color chart is turning brown is so chaotic.
“Miss Landers, Beaver didn’t have a reservation!”
Yesteryear’s dopey Judy’s…today’s dopey bureaucrats
The recall drive is having the desired effect.
Bars should be included in this, those are small businesses still suffering from the shut down BS. This is just so wrong.
What do you expect from the nanniest agency in the nanniest state? Is “nanniest” even a word?
