Definitions

A good way to differentiate between Class A and Class B licenses is to think of Class A as "away" (grocery stores and liquor stores) and Class B as "bar" (restaurants and bars).

Class "A" Liquor: Allows for sale of intoxicating liquor in original packaging for off-premise consumption.

Class "A" Beer : Allows for the sale of fermented malt beverages in original packaging for off-premise consumption.

Class "B" Liquor: Allows for the sale of intoxicating liquor for on-premise consumption and sale for off-premise consumption of 4 liters or less. Wine may be sold in original packaging for off-premise consumption. This license cannot be issued with out having a Class "B" Beer License.

Class "B" Site License: Allows for the sale of both intoxicating liquor and fermented malt beverages for on-premise consumption. Please see Chapter 160(J) of the City of Jefferson Municipal Codebook for the restriction for this license.

Chapter 160-5 K of the Municipal Codebook for the City of Jefferson, prohibits the issuance of a Class "A" fermented malt beverages license "upon premises where the sale of gasoline is conducted or carried on."
