To build a successful career as a professional barstender, you must first obtain a Maryland bartending certificate. The bartender's licence is proof that you are able to serve alcohol. It also protects you from any liability. This important document can also be used to receive a discount on your liquor liability insurance. You can also apply for a bartending license online.
You may need to apply for different types of Maryland liquor licences. These licenses include a license allowing you to serve alcohol at a bar, tavern or restaurant, a licence to sell beer, wine, liquor and to deliver beer, liquor and wine. You may also be granted special beer/wine tasting permits to allow you to taste the product on-site. These permits are only available to Class A license holders and limit the number of wine or beer you can serve per person to three (3) ounces.
Maryland's minimum drinking age must be met if you want to sell alcohol. The minimum age for selling alcohol is 18 in Maryland. To be allowed to serve alcohol you must complete an alcohol awareness training course. You will learn how to identify and stop intoxicated people and how to check IDs. This course can be completed online, but you will need to complete a proctored exam.
Maryland Liquor Board has the responsibility of issuing and revoking licenses for selling alcoholic beverages. It is responsible for ensuring that both the state and the county's rules are adhered to. This task is carried out through the Liquor License Task Force (LLTF). The LLTF was founded to assess the need to obtain liquor licenses. It also examines the legalities and procedures involved in obtaining a license. To learn more about the process, you might attend an LLTF meeting.
You may be able to get a bartending license in Maryland by attending a bartending school. Bartending schools will teach you the laws of Maryland and regulations surrounding alcohol service. You will also learn how to recognize minors and prevent them from intoxicating others. Bartending schools can also be found online. The school should also offer professional quality textbooks.
To obtain a license to bartend, you will need a driver's licence. To transfer your license from one location to another, you'll need to file an application at the Liquor Board.
Maryland bartending laws can vary from county to county. Some counties allow you alcohol service as early at 18 years, while others require you must be 21. A valid government-issued photo identification may also be required depending on the jurisdiction. In some cases, you may need to prove your insurance coverage.
Bartenders in Maryland must also have a state-approved alcohol awareness training program. You will need to complete this training program every four years.
