WTH!

I drop by the town website regularly to see what's up and was shocked to see the following notice.
LEGAL NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that the Town of Smyrna Beer Board will conduct public hearings at its regular monthly meeting on Monday, November 2, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall relative to the suspension or revocation of the following beer permits:

1. Permit No. #00189, held by Almaville Amoco
2. Permit No. #00199, held by Chili’s Grill & Bar
3. Permit No. #00237, held by Smyrna Amoco
4. Permit No. #00238, held by Smyrna BP
5. Permit No. #00313, held by Toot’s of Smyrna
6. Permit No. #00330, held by Big Charlie’s Bait Shop
7. Permit No. #00333, held by Buffalo Wild Wings
8. Permit No. #00341, held by Red Robin
9. Permit No. #00358, held by St. Mina Market
I'm not going to guess at what's going on, but for Chili's, Toot's, Red Robin, and Buffalo Wild Wings to possibly lose their beer permits this raises a lot of questions.

Normally in a given month the beer board reviews 3-4 permits some revocations and some applications, but this is a list of 9 possible suspensions or revocations. That's an unusually large number to say the least.

Anyone have an idea on why? Rumors?

update: Looks like there were stings/issues with beer possibly being sold incorrectly.

could it be underage drinking? I normally here of stings going on but havent heard of such this yr. I bet some of the servers there sold to underage or some of the patrons were drunk when they bought beer from these places. Maybe attending the meeting someone could find out and post of here what is really going on?

No idea. I was just shocked at the large number and the franchises on the list. When I get more info I'll release it, but it will likely be a DNJ article.
