A new grassroots group, concerned about Utah liquor laws, says it plans to represent everyday residents and “advocate for better beer laws."
The first item on Utah Consumer Coalition’s to-do list: change state law so that higher-alcohol beer can be served on tap.
“What we’ve done is we’ve picked an issue that we think everybody can agree on,” spokesman Michael Druce, said Wednesday, during an interview on The Salt Lake Tribune-FOX 13 “Booze News” podcast.
Having a bartender pour beer directly into a glass — from larger barrels or kegs — would eliminate waste from bottles, cans and other packaging, he said, and it possibly could reduce overconsumption.
