Colorado Bill To Bring Craft Beer To Supermarkets Fails

imageDetails on this bill and it’s abrupt end from the Coloradoan:

A bill that would have allowed craft beer in Colorado grocery stores was killed Tuesday by its own sponsor, who cited a lack of support.

Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, had proposed House Bill 1178, which called for allowing grocery and convenience stores and other retailers to sell craft beer. Craft beer is defined as beer with an alcohol content above 3.2 percent by weight or 4 percent alcohol by volume that is manufactured by a craft brewer that produces no more than 6 million barrels per year, according to the bill.

Efforts to get full-strength beer onto grocery store shelves dates back to 2009, but this bill was written with Colorado craft breweries in mind.
