With the way things are going, we might get lucky over the next few sessions. I'd prefer not to see the state dump a bunch of money into special stores just for our rather limited selections of warm beer, because it could be an obstacle to getting all beer out of the state's hands eventually. With heavy beer on tap now a realistic future possibility, as well as a nightlife district in SLC, who knows what could happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-22116645110850645842009-03-25T11:22:00.000-07:002009-03-25T11:22:00.000-07:00A beer specialty store is a great idea.

We'd never get anything if that were the case.Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855596555082342486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-78252374341853775482009-03-25T10:50:00.000-07:002009-03-25T10:50:00.000-07:00Josh, amen to that.

I guess in theory a beer store could be opened up right now as long as it sold under 4% right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-74213256387833897812009-03-25T10:43:00.000-07:002009-03-25T10:43:00.000-07:00I haven't been to the 300 W store in awhile becaus...I haven't been to the 300 W store in awhile because I've been mooching other people's booze.<BR/><BR/>I think it's really weird that state liquor stores have such different inventories. All drinks considered, I think the 300 W. store is probably my favorite for variety in my price range.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-48596019766249204082009-03-25T10:24:00.000-07:002009-03-25T10:24:00.000-07:00Better yet, how about getting beer out of the fuck...Better yet, how about getting beer out of the fucking liquor stores. The more the state invests in a beer infrastructure, the harder it will be to eventually get it into normal grocery and convenience stores (or private beer specialty stores).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-1650732877047028472009-03-25T09:41:00.000-07:002009-03-25T09:41:00.000-07:00Yeah, I saw that they had some beer. The store is ...Yeah, I saw that they had some beer. The store is very impressive and must have over 10,000 different types and vintages. So this brings me to my idea I've been pushing: A state beer store. Seriously, I heard DABC people complaining all the time about shelf space. How about having a central location for all the beer available in state. An expanded array or beer plus all of the other stuff. It would work, and it would make life easier for some stores. Location? How about Murray, around 4800 South.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
