BILL NUMBER:S7621
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to authorizing the issuance of a license to manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York
Summary of provisions
Section 1 adds a new subdivision 7 to section 101 of the alcoholic beverage control law that authorizes the Culinary Institute of America to be issued a license to manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages
Section 2 sets an immediate effective date
Justification
The Culinary Institute of American actually began as the New Haven Restaurant Institute on May 22, 1946 in downtown New Haven, CT as the first and only school of its kind in the United States. It was founded to train returning World War II veterans in the culinary arts and had a beginning enrollment of 50 students and employed a chef, baker, and dietitian. Over the next twenty five years, the school grew and decided to move its campus to Hyde Park, New York after also considering sites in Chicago, Atlanta, and Columbia, Maryland.
Since 1972, the Culinary Institute of America as it is known today has become the world's premier culinary college that has consistently garnered praise for its innovative work in culinary education, research, and industry service. The campus has long been an important destination for both New Yorkers and visitors from all parts of the world who love to dine at the incredible restaurants that are part of the Hyde Park campus and enjoy the beauty of the Hudson Valley.
The craft brewing industry is booming and in its latest development to create new economic opportunities in the food industry, the Culinary Institute of America has joined with Brooklyn Brewery to develop a small brewery on the college's Hyde Park campus that is expected to open to the public in summer 2015. The brewery will not only service the teaching restaurants that are open to the public bringing tourists from around the world to sample the fine food of the CIA students but it will also serve as the means for adding courses in craft beer making to the CIA's curriculum. This legislation would allow this partnership to flourish by granting the Culinary Institute of America a license to manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages directly on its campus.
