All The More Reason to Brew Your Own

Thanks to this nation’s weird history with prohibition, there are a number of odd laws on the books in regards to serving and selling alcohol. For instance, it’s illegal in Utah to sell beer that is more than 3.2% alcohol, which pretty much eliminates most of the craft brews on the market today. In Pennsylvania, it’s illegal to sell less than a case of beer in a regular store - you need to go to a tavern to get a six pack.

Suite 101 has a complete list of silly, strange and archaic laws regarding beer throughout our nation. Think on these as you uncap that winter warmer this holiday season.

    Have you ever had a “Utah Beer”?
    A couple quick corrections. It’s not illeagal to sell beer over 3.2%. If brewers want they’re beer sold in grocery stores, it must top-out at 4.0% abv. More than that and it has to be sold in a liquor store. Utah’s craft breweries are “thick” with awards and praise.
