A state law requiring places that sell alcohol to derive 30 percent of their revenue from sales came into focus last week when the state held up the license renewal of Sandhills Brewing in Hutchinson. The brewery sold more than $16,000 worth of hot dogs and food in one night and needed another $13,000 in food sales by the end of the month to renew its license. Sandshills’ plight drew a lot of attention about the law, which some accused of being arbitrary and a hindrance to opening a business. “It seems like it’s a law to keep clubs and businesses away, and they just want to have restaurants that serve alcohol,” said Allen Brinkman, co-owner of Moxie Grill & Bar in Newton. “It seems like it’s a very biased law.”
