Reply to comment by keepseeing444 in Gov. Murphy proposes ending NJ's cap on liquor licenses. by Brudesandwich

NY also has a class of license that is cheaper, but you can only serve NY state produced beer & wine. Would love to see that support of NJ businesses. (They also give tax credits to producers who use a certain percentage of ingredients produced by NY state farmers).

Meanwhile the license lobby in NJ is tossing fits because breweries are having events and maybe coordinate with a food truck, how dare they offer a nice experience! When they are pulling shit like that and talking about their license as ‘investment assets’ and can get loans based on their value (of a government controlled/restricted/manufactured ‘asset’), it’s gotta be time for change. As long as they don’t pull a taxi medallion too hard and let things cushion down, I’m all for the change

Oh wow I didn’t know NY state had that. Makes sense cause I’m always remarking at how much more local offerings bars and restaurants have there.

NY State does so much more to support local producers & farmers, it's kinda wild we don't just copy most of it.

Yup it’s always an exercise in frustration when I go to places in NY and see how well integrated they are with offering local products and then come back to NJ and feel like I could be anywhere in the country with the generic junk we offer

Most of the rest stops have an "I heart NY State" shop where you can buy maple syrup, wine, ect. They also schedule local farmers to table and offer stuff like apples and pies. It's just such a surround of support & promotion.

No. Fuck that. I don’t want no New Jersey-branded Whiskey.
