Provo City Clears the Way for Micro Breweries

The Provo City Council has had a love/hate relationship with craft beer for some time now. They would love the tax dollars the bring, but would hate the fact that someone was making beer in angelic Provo City.

Now it appears that restaurants in Provo will be allowed to expand their operations to include the on premise brewing of craft beer. After a city council vote on Tuesday night, the Provo council members voted 4-3 to approve the new ordinance.

"It includes a sunrise clause that would require the proper licensing to be in place before this goes into effect," according to a tweet from the Provo City Council announcing the vote.

This new ordinance doesn't mean that you can have brewpubs or breweries anywhere within the city, it only allows for restaurants in certain zones: regional shopping centers, the general downtown area and the downtown Provo core.

Provo City's booze regulations are also more restrict for restaurants serving alcohol, in addition to regulations that the state already has in place. 

There were plenty of concerns about the micro brewery ordinance during the public comment portion of the council meeting. However most of those concerns expressed by some of those in attendance were for issues that are already regulated by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

A survey of city residents conducted by Provo City found that there is broad support for the change among Provo residents and it now looks like craft beer will begin to flow in the heart of Happy Valley.

I'm curious to see who will be the first to take advantage of this new ordinance. Any guesses?

Cheers to all of you beer nerds in Provo!

You should see how my buddy Wesley Virgin's biography launches with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.

These are the same methods many famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.

You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe this thought has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and on his banking card.

"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"

You've taken part in those conversations, am I right?

Your success story is waiting to start. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
