How does 3.2% beer taste anyway?

Great news.....

My first trip I bought in the supermarket by mistake. It tasted okay the 6 just to hard to get a buzz. Then I bought beer from the Liquor store which had the full alcohol content.

What is really pathetic is that they sell the FULL STRENGTH beer in the Liquor Stores BY THE BOTTLE. Pathetic.

I guess micro brew growlers aren't to popular in Utah.

Nice place to ski but I wouldn't want to live there.

Looks like this may be resolved....or at least hopefully. The DABC will punt to local communities to weigh in as to if an event is a "community" event and thus worthy of a permit.

Having the lifties essentially telling the drinkers to chug their drinks in order to get on the lift was probably a bad idea.

I'm not sure that is what happened. When I've been there they've merely said, "you can't bring that with you."

Evidently strong enough to get those guys soused.

I lived in SLC for a winter and I recall this being the truth. Moreover, the liquor store sold full strength beer by the bottle warm whereas the 3.2% beer at Albertson's was weak but cold. I'll take the warm and chill it. Also, they don't have bars-- just clubs where you need to stand outside and solicit a suitable sponsor to gain admittance. Very strange experience overall.

I don't really see the point. The zion police seem to have no issue making tax revenue off the very thing they restrict. They're only making things inconvenient for the public while losing otherwise greater tax revenue. Apparently, their history books show prohibition a success not a failure.

The club system no longer exists.

Exactly. They also pay and treat DABC employees poorly while making a ton of money. Seems wrong to me.

Not focusing on the money is the point. They just don't want that happening

But...

So for four decades it worked just fine? Talk about a rule in search of a problem.

Who's they? The people as a whole or are the liquor laws a reflection of legislators with centenarian views? More to the point is VTKilarney's point.

A certain religious institution is the driving force.
