Grass Valley’s 1849 Brewery was served with a 20 day suspension of alcohol sales due to operating past hours as well as having an unsecured entryway according to brewer/owner Kevin Krikorian.
After having its license suspended late last year following numerous complaints, Grass Valley’s 1849 Brewing Co. will now be allowed to expand its hours and its beer garden.
On Tuesday the Grass Valley Planning Commission approved a use permit amendment allowing the bar to stay open an extra hour. Its new hours will be 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Last October the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) suspended the bar’s alcohol license for 45 days for operating a “Disorderly Premises,” citing allegations of public drunkenness, fights, assaults, reports of illegal drugs, public urination and noise complaints.
