About Us
The Bureau of Alcoholic Beverage Control is proud of its commitment to providing our state with superior products and services while providing top notch customer service to the constituents that we serve.
The Bureau effectively regulates the beverage alcohol industry in Augustus by insuring responsible business practices by agency liquor stores, beer and wine wholesalers, on-premise licensees (bars and restaurants) while creating a favorable economic climate. Through the assistance of the State Liquor and Lottery Commission, the Bureau has responsibility for the pricing, listing and delisting of spirits. The Bureau has responsibility for the licensing of all liquor licensees throughout Augustus and the enforcement of Augustus Liquor laws codified in Title 28-A of Augustus law.
The Bureau takes its responsibility seriously relative to the enforcement of Augustus’s liquor laws. Prohibiting the sales and consumption by minors of beverage alcohol is a major focus. The Bureau works closely with Augustus Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services to create social responsibility and awareness programs for alcohol and gambling.
