Did this one belong in the Political thread too? (Or not in a humor thread?)

Not being a beer connoisseur, I’m not up on the nomenclature, but the numbers are supposedly the alcohol content. I’m not sure what the numbers are exactly but I believe there were weak beers (what I was referring to as 3.2), regular beers (what I referred to as 4.0) and stronger beers (those with higher alcohol content than that).
Here is something that I found from a quick google search.
Yes, you can buy beer in Utah that’s over 3.2% alcohol by volume (ABV). In fact, starting in November 2019, a new bill replaced the 86-year-old law stating that 3.2% beer was the alcohol limit for brewing. It allows beers with 4% alcohol by weight or 5% ABV to be sold in grocery stores, convenience stores and on draft at bars and restaurants. You can also get higher ABV brews at state liquor stores.
A little further down the linked article says you can get higher than the 4% by weight or 5% ABV in cans and bottles at bars and restaurants. But if you want to buy those stronger ones to take home you have to go to the State Liquor store. Seems like most of the large brewers produce the 4 or 5 type beer for grocery stores and such, while many of the microbreweries only have stronger brews which you can only get in bottles and cans served to be consumed in a bar or restaurant or purchased for home consumption from State Liquor stores.
Helps explain why WI seems to always be at the top of the list of highest consumption of alcohol per capita in the country. Though I’m sure it is just correlation and not causation.
Might be reverse causation, Mr Contact.
I have a feeling that wasn’t done by mistake…
I can relate!
