Chattanooga Beer Board Meeting - 08/07/2026

Agenda Items & Discussion

  • The board approved the minutes of the July 16, 2026 meeting.
  • Beer permit applications: Chattanooga Shag Tracks (temporary event permit TE43) and Trinity Restaurant LLC had both already been approved administratively by regulatory staff.
  • Shag Tracks, Inc.'s Brown Bag permit application (BB12) for an event at 1000 Alhambra Drive, District 6, remained on hold pending building inspection sign-off. A board member representing the applicant noted the event was scheduled for the 13th-15th and asked for guidance; staff said no board action was needed if regulatory and building approvals come through in time, since brown bag alcohol at the event without the permit would not be legal.
  • Beer application 1395 was discussed; staff noted the applicant has pending violations and is not currently allowed to sell beer.

Key Decisions & Votes

  • Motion to approve the July 16, 2026 minutes: passed unanimously by voice vote.
  • Motion to move beer application 1395 to the September 3, 2026 meeting: passed, with board member Jean McGee abstaining. The board noted five votes are required to take formal action, so the item was effectively tabled to the next meeting.
