Qualifying restaurants with on-sale intoxicating liquor or wine licenses may offer off-sales of malt liquor, hard seltzer, cider, wine, and cocktails with prepared food take-out orders without obtaining an additional license.

Off-sales are limited to 72 ounces total of malt liquor, hard seltzer, and cider; 750 milliliters of wine; and 34 ounces of cocktails per prepared food take-out order, with non-cocktail beverages sold in original, unopened packaging and cocktails in secure, sealed containers.

Licensees must verify customers are at least 21 years old and must notify their liquor liability insurance provider of off-sales under this section.

On-sale intoxicating liquor licensees may make additional off-sales of malt liquor not exceeding 128 ounces per customer per day in growlers or crowlers, meeting standards in Minnesota Statutes section 340A.285.

Both provisions expire when Executive Order closures of restaurants expire, are terminated, or are rescinded; municipal governing bodies may elect to prohibit these off-sales within their jurisdiction.
