Utah’s 3.2 beer law finally met its demise Tuesday, when Gov. Gary Herbert signed SB132, making way for higher-alcohol brews in grocery and convenience stores.
The law, which takes effect Nov. 1 in an early Christmas gift for beer lovers, boosts the state cap on retail beer from 3.2 percent to 4 percent alcohol by weight. Stronger brews will continue to be sold at liquor stores operated by the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
. . .
The law also boosts the allowable alcohol content on beer served on tap — sometimes called draft beer — at restaurants and bars.
