This was incorrectly rejected on appeal for being a liquor store, appeal rejection language below. This is a family restaurant, ice cream spot, event venue, and brewery that brews beer and non-alcoholic items. This is NOT a liquor store and is not limited to customers over age 21.

Welcome to the forum @MonkeyTrent
The link I found when I Googled this business requires me to say I am 21 to click it. If you have evidence that this location is not adults only, you should add links to those sources to help support your case.

Yea, website = / = the physical space. ALL breweries / restaurants are required to have this on the website by law, but that is separate from the space. For a resubmission, I will see if I can clarify?
Yes, I was just mentioning what the appeals team may have seen when they looked it up, not that it is not eligible. I love breweries as Wayspots. Any links you can add to show that it is not 21+ only will help. I didn’t really dig for information.
I am also wondering about that main photo you used. Is that the sign?
If you are planning to resubmit, I would get more of that supplemental information into the description where reviewers are more likely to read it. And definitely have links in the supporting that show this is not an adults only place.
I doubt they will disregard this information on the official website. If government has mandated it on the website, they would consider it an adult location. If it were upto me, I would let this go. It upto you to decide what you want to do.
Yea, again, I hear y’all. Except 100% of breweries have to have this warning across the USA and yet just about every other brewery I know is a POI. I would just resub but this one is 3 hours away from me

That’s not accurate. I confirmed it by visiting the websites of half a dozen breweries in this area. The warning seems to be required only if the company sells alcohol online. The company can still have a brewery with restaurant. But if you encounter the warning that requires you to enter a birthdate it’s because they also sell their alcoholic products on that website.

Breweries are not adult-only locations, however only an adult can buy alcohol from them. Many breweries have educational visits and shops selling non-alcoholic gifts, different from a liquor store which only exists to serve alcohol and is therefore adult-only.

Yeah, pretty much every brewery I know of has guided tours for all ages.

Well, that’s not entirely true either, at least not in the US. MOST breweries are open to people of all ages, with only adults allowed to drink alcohol. BUT there are some breweries that intentionally allow only those over 21. The restrictive ones tend to be those that want to have an adult-only, calmer atmosphere. They are definitely the minority, but they do exist in the US.
