Alaska’s state alcohol regulator is declining to stop distilleries from selling kegs of premixed cocktails despite a warning by federal regulators, who have concluded that the process is illegal.
State law forbids distilleries from selling a keg to an individual — Alaska has strict limits on serving sizes — but there are no state laws that forbid a distillery from selling a keg to a bar or restaurant that has a liquor license. The bureau has a section of regulations called “standards of fill,” which dictate the size of bottles that a distillery, winery or brewery can sell.
Nationally, and within Alaska, the trend in alcohol sales has been toward “premiumization” — smaller volumes of higher-quality alcohol instead of bigger amounts of cheap products.
