“They need to follow the guidelines of the ‘Wisconsin Tavern League’...”
Montana has the : Montana Tavern Association
They work with the Mt Legislature to keep the number of licenses regulated and slightly scarce...

In Missoula the going rate is $50,000...
In Bozeman (the most expensive) the asking price is $299,000. An all spirits license is $1,700,000.
In Wisconsin you can get a liquor license for a few bucks and they’re passed down from generation to generation. ;)
