Since March 8, 1934, Iowa has been a “control state,” assuming
direct control over the wholesale of all alcoholic beverages except
beer. Though the wholesale of wine was privatized July 1, 1986, the
Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division continued on as the sole wholesaler
of distilled spirits in Iowa. The Division also regulates and licenses
establishments that sell alcoholic beverages in Iowa.
The Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division facility is located on a 14.5
acre site located at 1918 SE Hulsizer Road in Ankeny, Iowa. The Division
is comprised of five sections including Administration, Alcohol, Tobacco,
the Liquor Wholesale Opration and Support, totaling 50 full time employees.
In addition to Division staff, the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Commission
acts as a policy-making body and serves in an advisory capacity to
the Division Administrator. The Commission is comprised of five members
appointed to five-year terms by the Governor, subject to confirmation
by the Iowa Senate. |
