County Commission Approves New Laws For Beer Growlers, Corkage Fees

A new liquor law taking effect later this month in unincorporated Clark County will allow people to buy growlers – portable containers – of beer from brewpubs, liquor stores, and some Strip hotel bars. 

County commissioners voted Tuesday to approve the ordinance, which will also allow restaurants to charge a corkage fee to patrons who bring and drink their own wine. 

The new law will go into effect in two weeks. Growlers can already be purchased from businesses located in the city of Las Vegas.
