Iowa law requires that you are at least 21 years old to operate a bar, restaurant, or club that sells alcohol. You could be facing big fines or jail time if your bar, restaurant, or club serves alcohol to anyone under the age of 21.
Iowa has a 21-year-old minimum age limit for alcohol sales. However, local governments may change this. This rule applies to businesses that sell beer, wine or spirits and those that are based in residential areas.
Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division is required to issue liquor licenses for anyone manufacturing, importing, or selling alcoholic beverages. There are three types, wholesale, retail, manufacture/import. ABD provides an online chart which explains the types and costs for each license.
Liquor and Beer Permits
A liquor permit or beer permit must be obtained from the City if you are operating a restaurant, bar, or club that serves alcohol in Iowa. If your application is approved by the city, you will be issued a liquor/beer permit certificate. The certificate must be displayed in your establishment and available to law enforcement officials or the ABD at all times.
Bartending License
Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Commission has a licensing process for bartenders. This license allows you to sell alcoholic beverages in your bar or restaurant, but only during hours of operation.
This license is only available to those who are at least 21 years old. You will have to show proof of identity to ABD to receive it. You must also be an Iowa resident, or be incorporated in Iowa to operate in Iowa.
Dramshops
A dramshop happens when someone has been served too much alcohol at a restaurant or bar. They then leave the establishment and become drunk. This crime will result in you being arrested.
Iowa Youth Labor Bill
Iowa House passed a bill allowing 16-17-year-olds to open bars and restaurants in January. They will be allowed to work until 9 p.m., and until 11 p.m. during June 1 through Labor Day, instead of the current requirement of 7 p.m.
The bill also allows youth employees to work in freezers and laundry facilities, so they can work longer hours without being in violation of the current law. Some lawmakers worried that this would put more youth at risk of sexual assault and other problems.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. We're using Cognac to make this drink. It is a French spirit made from fermented grapes. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we'll add some simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir the sugar until it is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let sit overnight. Strain out any sugar crystals with cheesecloth. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest of the way with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
