Utah ‘Booze News’ podcast: a karaoke business finally gets beer and why bars must serve more than peanuts

Salt Lake City’s Heart & Seoul Karaoke — denied a liquor license two months ago — finally gets a beer license and why Utah bars must offer more than just peanuts are issues on tap in the latest episode of the Utah ‘Booze News’ podcast.

Salt Lake Tribune reporter Kathy Stephenson and FOX 13′s Ben Winslow discuss the drinking habits of the state liquor commission; recent drunken driving statistics; and the new bar opening at The Gateway in late July.

Nicole Dicou, executive director of the Utah Brewers Guild, also talks about Saturday’s beer fest and how the state’s once-fractured brewing community is coming together to collaborate on new brews.
