The issue? The distillery was operating under a previous owner's license without completing the legal transfer process. While the owner apologized for the administrative delay, the Board opted not to grant a grace period or temporary licenses.

Instead, the Board voted unanimously to indefinitely suspend the distillery's liquor licenses. Operations cannot resume until all paperwork, background checks, and ABCC updates are fully processed and approved. #PlymouthMA #LocalGov https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-05-01/

Longer-form draft.
At the May 1 Select Board meeting, town officials took a strict stance regarding liquor license compliance for Dirty Water Distillery, LLC. Due to a failure to complete the legal transfer process following the previous owner's departure, the distillery was found to be operating under an outdated license. While the business owner apologized for the administrative delays and requested a grace period or temporary one-day licenses to maintain operations, the Select Board denied the request. In a unanimous decision, the Board moved to indefinitely suspend the distillery's liquor licenses. The suspension will remain in effect until the transfer process—including police background checks and ABCC updates—is fully completed and approved. The Board cited the legal necessity of enforcing Massachusetts General Law over requests for operational continuity. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-05-01/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
