8-301 : Establishment of beer board.

  1. There is hereby created a board, which shall be known and designated as the "Beer Board of the City of Gatlinburg", hereinafter referred to in this chapter as the "board". Such board shall be composed of the city manager and the five members of the board of commissioners of the City of Gatlinburg.
  2. It shall be the duty of the board to regulate and supervise the issuance of permits to manufacture, store, distribute and sell beer.
  3. It is hereby declared that the sale of beer in the city is a privilege, and such board is hereby empowered with complete discretion to issue, revoke, and suspend all permits to sell beer in the city.
  4. The board is empowered to elect its own chairman and other officers, and to make its own regulations with respect to meetings or hearings, and may deny the issuance of any permit whenever it determines that such issuance would be detrimental to public health, safety, or morals. The board may likewise suspend or revoke the permit of any permittee who violates any of the laws of the United States, the State of Tennessee, or the City of Gatlinburg, or whenever it shall satisfactorily appear that the premises or business of a permittee is being maintained and operated in such manner as to be detrimental to public health, safety or morals.
  5. Where a permit is revoked, no new permit shall be issued to permit the sale of beer on the same premises until after the expiration of one year from the date said revocation becomes final and effective. This limitation shall apply only if the premises owner is notified of the revocation hearing as well as the permittee.
  6. For purposes of this chapter beer is defined as any beer, ale, or other malt beverage, or any other beverages having an alcoholic content of not more than five percent (5%) by weight, prior to January 1, 2017, and thereafter, eight percent (8%) by weight, except wine as defined in Tennessee Code Annotated, § 57-3-101; provided, however, that no more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the overall alcoholic content of such beverage may be derived from the addition of flavors and other non-beverage ingredients containing alcohol.
