Restaurants and bars in East Ridge may now temporarily sell beer for carry-out or delivery, according to an executive order issued by the city Tuesday, March 31.

Businesses with existing beer permits for on-premises consumption can acquire a special 30-day off-site beer permit from the city at no charge.

The off-site beer permit allows for the delivery of beer in closed containers including cans, bottles or growlers.

Only employees 21 year or older who work for businesses that acquire the permit will be allowed to deliver the beer. Standard identification and beer sales laws still apply, according to a city news release.
