The first step to becoming a professional bartender in Maryland is getting a bartending permit. A bartender’s license serves as proof of your ability, and helps protect you from potential liability. You can get a discount for liquor liability insurance by having this license. You can also apply for a bartending license online.
You may need to apply for different types of Maryland liquor licences. These licenses can be used to open a bar/tavern and sell alcohol, wine, and liquor. They also allow you to deliver beer and wine. There are also special beer/wine tasting permits that you may obtain for tasting purposes on premise. 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 legal drinking age is 18 if you intend to sell alcohol. Maryland has a minimum 18-year-old age limit for selling alcohol. You will need to complete an Alcohol Awareness Training Program in order to sell alcohol. This training program will teach you how you can spot and stop drunk customers. It will also teach you how you check IDs. Although this course can be done online, you will need an exam proctored.
The Maryland Liquor Board is responsible for issuing and revoking licenses to sell alcoholic beverages. It also ensures that all applicable laws are observed in the county and state. This task is carried out through the Liquor License Task Force (LLTF). The LLTF was established to evaluate the need for liquor licences and to examine the legalities and processes of obtaining a license. An LLTF meeting is a good place to start learning more about this process.
Attending a school of bartending may allow you to obtain a Maryland bartending permit. 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. Online and in-person bartending schools are available. Professional quality textbooks should be provided by the school.
You will need to have a driver's license in order to obtain a bartending license. If you wish to transfer your license, you will need to apply to the Liquor Board.
Maryland's bartending laws may differ from one county to the next. Some counties allow you the right to sell alcohol as young as 18 years. Others require you to have at least 21 years. Depending on the jurisdiction you are in, you might also need to present a valid government-issued ID. In certain areas, proof of your insurance coverage may be required.
Maryland bartenders must also be certified in alcohol awareness training. This program should be completed at least once every four years.
