The agreement would raise alcohol limits to 4 percent starting in November, a level that's still lower than almost all other states but would allow beers like Bud Light and Corona to be sold, Republican Sen. Jerry Stevenson said. The agreement breaks a stalemate over a proposed larger increase that was supported by big retailers like Wal- Mart but opposed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which counts most lawmakers as members. The 4-percent-by-weight limit would allow most, but not all, regular-strength beers in private stores and on tap, said Kate Bradshaw, a lobbyist with the Responsible Beer Choice Coalition, a group of manufacturers, distributers and sellers. "It's the biggest change in Utah alcohol history in 86 years, since prohibition ended," she said. A task force would also be assigned to study whether to raise the limits again. Higher-strength beer, wine and spirits are only available at state-owned liquor stores in Utah. The compromise is palatable for the church as well. Marty Stephens, director of government relations, said the faith still had concerns but considers the compromise an improvement and won't oppose it. The deal cleared its biggest hurdle, the state House of Representatives, Wednesday night, and it is expected to fare well in the state Senate. Utah now limits beer to 3.2 percent alcohol at grocery and convenience stores, which stock weaker versions of popular beers. Large breweries have been discontinuing those products, though, because the market is shrinking as other states like Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas abandon similar limits. The emptier shelves are difficult for stores that depend on revenue from beer sales, Stevenson has said. He originally wanted to raise alcohol limits to 4.8 percent, but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints opposed the idea. The state Senate passed it anyway, but it stalled in the House amid concern about the potential side effects. If passed, the deal would also avoid the possibility of a ballot initiative seeking the approval of higher alcohol limits from voters who have bucked state lawmakers on other hot-button issues like medical marijuana and Medicaid expansion. Utah also hosts an active microbrewery community, and many brewers had opposed the incremental 4.8 increase that they said would benefit big companies over locals. The Utah Brewers Guild did not take a position on the compromise deal. WY: 24/7 Sobriety: Legislation updates fundamentals of alcohol compliance program The Sheridan Press By Ashleigh Fox March 13, 2019 SHERIDAN — A law that took four years to pass through the Wyoming Legislature might keep drunk drivers from reoffending in the future. NABCA Daily News Update (3/14/2019) 3 Four years ago, Sen. Dave Kinskey, R-Sheridan, helped work on a bill that revised the existing 24/7 sobriety program in the state. The current program, signed into law by former governor Matt Mead, is designed for repeat offenders driving under the influence. “The 24/7 Sobriety Project sets the standard of no use of alcohol and no use of illegal drugs as a condition of continuing to drive and remaining in the community, rather than being incarcerated,” according to the Governor’s Council on Impaired Driving website. The standard is enforced by intensive monitoring by law enforcement with alcohol and drug testing mandated for each participant, the website continues. Violation of program rules leads to immediate and usually brief incarceration of the offender. The combination of strict monitoring and a no-use standard with swift, consequences has been extremely successful, all according to the website. For offenders who have their driver’s license suspended due to driving while impaired by alcohol, the new legislation allows them access to a restricted driver’s license, but they can only drive vehicles that have an ignition interlock device. Changes to the law allow offenders to immediately apply for the license, removing the sunset provision of having to serve 45 days of suspension or revocation before applying. Existing law requires those re-offending to be arrested by law enforcement immediately and without warrant after receiving a written statement by either a probation and parole officer or law enforcement establishing the offense. Practically speaking, it will not change law enforcement’s role too much in dealing with alcohol offenders on the road. Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office staff and Lt. Emily Hizer, who oversees the Sheridan County Detention Center, is in the process of writing policy to help with the transition of the “quick dip,” — a short amount of time spent in jail before seeing a judge as soon as possible — into the judicial system. From now until July, when the law is enacted, law enforcement will continue its system of sharing the burden of testing for alcohol compliance. The 24/7 Sobriety Project is authorized and run under the direction of the county sheriff, but Sheriff Allen Thompson said his deputies and the Sheridan Police Department officers share the duties. “Our biggest shortage on that is manpower on the sheriff’s office side,” Thompson said. “Being able to actually implement that and do it is manpower-intensive for a couple to four hours a day.” The SPD helps conduct preliminary breath tests Monday through Friday in conjunction with SCSO. “Should there be a violation, then we have our staff on site here in the detention center all the time that can come take somebody in the lobby into custody and follow through with the report or additional test or whatever needs to be done,” Thompson said. The next step for Hizer and SCSO to move from policy writing into full implementation are discussions with judges and county attorneys. For now, operations will stay the same until agencies can settle on policy for the immediate judicial review of alcohol offenders, but Thompson anticipates full implementation later this year. AL: The Craft Beer Industry Is Brewing Up Big Bucks for Alabama Direct sales from the brewers are only a small percent of the money generated from the growing industry. WAAY 31 ABC Posted by Bill Young March 13, 2019 The craft beer industry continues to grow and generate more and more money for the state of Alabama. Numbers released by the Alabama Brewers Guild show the craft beer industry had a $616 million impact on the state. This not only includes sales, but money generated through breweries, wholesalers, retailers, and things like NABCA Daily News Update (3/14/2019) 4 food and merchandise sold at restaurants attached to brewpubs and taprooms. The news wasn't surprising to Matt Broadhurt, the operations manager at the Huntsville-based Straight to Ale Brewers. "When we left Leeman Ferr, we had 8 employees. Now, we have 81. We're paying taxes, we distill - pay taxes on that. The economic growth - it is the sky is the limit," said Broadhurst. Straight to Ale could be a case study in the success of craft beer in Alabama. The company brewed its first batch 9 years ago, just after Alabama made it legal to make beer in the state greater than 6 percent alcohol by volume. Evolving laws have allowed for the sale of pints from a taproom, then the sale of beer-to-go, then in bottles larger than 16 ounces. The evolving laws also mean evolving success for breweries just like Straight to Ale. WAAY 31 asked Broadhurst if he knows how many outlets sell the company's products. "Gosh, I couldn't begin to guess. I think the last time I counted, it was 1,000 outlets in Alabama that sell our beer." There are still issues the Brewers Guild wants to take on in Alabama to further evolve the craft beer industry. This includes allowing for multiple brewery locations and eliminating regulations that prevent brewery and distillery owners from participating in non-profits that also host licensed special events.

  • Small Beer, Big Flavour!
    Small Beer, Big Flavour! One day in a pub, where all good ideas come from, after a pint or two, Felix James and James Grundy were bemoaning the fact that it was next to impossible to get a beer around 2% ABV. ‘I was fed up with beers designed to blow your head off. All we wanted was a good tasting beer that wasn’t necessarily a mad craft beer’. Since that day 5 years ago, the pair have designed and built a unique brewery and made beer of 1% to 2.7% in alcohol content something to choose rather than a desperation purchase. So where did it all begin? Felix became involved in brewing at Mortlake and then Fuller’s. But it wasn’t beer that brought the pair together, rather gin. The pair met at Sipsmiths, the gin makers, where Felix was the head of ops and James was the head of sales. It was playing about on Felix’s 1.5 barrel brewing kit every weekend for a year that turned, what they both thought was a bit of a joke, into something they thought had a future. The next step was getting the money, which they did through a small panel of investors. This enabled them to buy a 30 barrel plant, so they not exactly starting small, although their original 1.5 barrel plant is still proudly on display in the corner and, Felix said, it is still used from time to time for a test brew. The brewing kit is in a cavernous industrial unit, with high ceiling, a balcony with a meeting room and another unit next door for offices.

    Early release, published at www.cmaj.ca on April 2, 2012. Subject to revision. March 28, 2012 After not eating for up to 11 days and working out four hours daily, Damian Mangat, then 16 years old, was still dissatisfied with her weight when she came across a novel proposition. While part of an outpatient program at a hospital in Toronto, she met a slender girl who disclosed her technique for keeping thin: drink alcohol while consuming no food. Mangat decided to give it a try. “I thought ‘perfect, I already love to drink when I can get it, and now I won’t have to worry about the dizziness because now when I need energy I can just take a shot of something,” she says. “It seemed to work. It seemed to be the magic answer for me.” Such a coupling of an eating disorder with alcohol abuse has been coined “drunkorexia.” Mangat, now 40 and a mature student at a university in Toronto, says the practice is common among college-age women and she often hears talk of foregoing food to save calories for alcohol. “The thinking is first of all, I’ll save the calories,” she says. “Secondly, I’ll get drunk on less and I’ll look good in what I’m wearing, and then later if I do end up eating, I can always throw it up because the booze makes it easy to throw it up.” Drunkorexia is not recognized in any clinical inventory but shares pop- psychology status with a number of other troublesome behaviours such as orthorexia (an extreme preoccupation with eating foods perceived to be healthy and avoiding foods that are not), manorexia (the male version of anorexia nervosa) and bridorexia (when a bride- to-be fasts to ensure she can fit into a certain size dress).

  • Daniel P. Pellegrin, Jr.* in 2013, the Taps Opened on Texas' Craft Beer
    PELLEGRIN_POSTMACRO (DO NOT DELETE) 4/4/2019 8:17 PM MICRO-BREW, MACRO-FEES: TEXAS LAW FAVORS BEER DISTRIBUTORS WHILE CURBING GROWTH AND INVESTMENT IN THE NATION’S THIRD LARGEST CRAFT BEER MARKET Daniel P. Pellegrin, Jr.* I. INTRODUCTION In 2013, the taps opened on Texas’ craft beer industry.1 New beer producers, new investors, and new consumers poured into the widening market hoping to capitalize on craft beer’s new popularity. Around the Country, engineers, lawyers, and other professionals quit their careers to rush into the new craft beer market, going from brewing beer by the liter in their garages to opening massive operations producing thousands of barrels of beer per year.2 Since 2013, Texas became the 8th largest producer of craft beer in the Country, and the economic impact for the State generated by the craft beer industry totals more than $4.5 billion, the 3rd highest in the Nation.3 *Candidate for Juris Doctor, 2019, Baylor University School of Law; B.A. Economics, 2016, Baylor University. I would first like to thank every craft beer manufacturer and alcohol distributor that kindly gave their time to give me a glimpse into this vast industry. Next, I would like to thank my fellow law student, Abigail Griffith, for bringing this issue to my attention and encouraging me to pursue this topic. Also, I want to thank Professor Ron Beal for the incredible encouragement and guidance he gave me when writing this comment. Finally, I cannot thank the staff of the Baylor Law Review enough for their diligent work editing this comment.

FRAGA* Following the enactment of Prohibition, it took the United States almost four decades to legalize homebrewing. Subsequently, the nation experienced a booming interest in beer. And not just beer, but good beer. Drinkers found them- selves invested in both quality and variety. This interest has matured into the craft beer industry. Even in holdover states, where state laws prohibited homebrewing far past 1979, the craft beer industry has experienced near exponential growth following the legalization of homebrewing. This has resulted in significant economic implications. Given these consider- ations, nations with restrictive homebrewing laws, like Ja- pan, should consider easing them.

U. Prereq: None. Jr. standing; satisfaction of OWC-A GER COURSE DESCRIPTION: Beer has been at the center of many movements in American history. Beer and brewing have been caught up in vast social upheavals including immigration, technological revolutions, urbanization and industrialization, changing family and gender roles, moral reform campaigns, evolving views on race and class, and changing ideas about place and connectivity. Beer has been a nutritionally vital home-brewed food staple, an anchor for community socialization, and a symbol of social identity. This course will use the history of beer and brewing as a means to chart many of the dramatic changes in American society. We will begin with the first maize beer brewed by Native Americans of the Southwest and continue through the introduction of barley and wheat beer by the first European settlers. We will discuss beer and brewing in Colonial America and trace its regionally diverse development in the United States. We will explore why beer became big business and how Milwaukee became the most important brewing city in the world. We will discuss the legacy of prohibition and the major changes to the brewing industry in the past few decades. This course considers the historic role of beer in defining identities and practices across America. COURSE
