Prepare For The Craft Beer Invasion!

When full-strength beer sales begin in stores get ready for many more choices.

Over 50 Colorado craft beers are ready to fill grocery and convenience store shelves when the new law kicks in on January 1st! Earlier this month about 40 breweries were granted licenses allowing their products to be sold in stores now that Colorado's old Prohibition Era 3.2 beer law is going away. I noticed in City Market this week that remaining 3.2 beer is "clearance priced" as the store makes room for the real stuff.

Some of the Colorado brews include some smaller outfits like Bootstrap Brewing and High Hops Brewing, along with the bigger well-known varieties like New Belgium, Odell and Oskar Blues.
