What it is and who needs it.
What the alcohol bond actually covers
Minnesota licenses brewers, distillers, wineries, and wholesalers through the Department of Public Safety's Division of Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement under Minn. Stat. 340A.301. The commissioner may not issue a manufacturer or wholesaler license to a person who has not filed a bond (or cash, or U.S. government bonds) payable to the state.
The bond is conditioned on the licensee obeying all laws governing the business and paying all taxes, fees, penalties, and other charges when due, and is forfeited to the state on a violation of law. It is a tax-and-compliance guarantee, not insurance for you — if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount is tiered: $1,000 for beer over 3.2% by weight; $2,000, $3,000 by proof-gallon volume for distilled products; $5,000 for wine up to 25% by weight; and $10,000 for intoxicating liquor. Enter the figure your license tier requires, and pricing starts from $100.
