Effective today, licensed manufacturers may apply online to the AGCO through the iAGCO portal for the new caterer’s endorsement.

The new endorsement will allow manufacturers with a by-the-glass endorsement to sell and serve liquor at catered events at locations away from the manufacturer’s licensed premises.

The new caterer’s endorsement will serve as an endorsement to a Winery, Brewery or Distillery licence.
