Alcoholic Beverages

Maine is one of 19 states that regulates beverage alcohol within its borders. By controlling this product, the State is the only entity that may bring liquor into the state.

Our mission is to effectively regulate the beverage alcohol industry to insure responsible business practices and create a favorable economic climate while prohibiting sales to minors.

The State signed a 10-year lease with Maine Beverage Company in 2004. Maine Beverage is responsible for warehousing and delivery of distilled spirits and fortified wines to agency stores throughout Maine.

The listing and pricing of distilled spirits and fortified wines are determined by the Bureau with assistance of the Commission.

For more information about the control process in Maine or for questions relating to distilled spirits and fortified wines in Maine, please email the Bureau at MaineLiquor@Maine.gov. For information regarding beer, wine or liquor licensing and compliance please contact the Department of Public Safety at www.maine.gov/dps.
