Business Owners Urge Lawmakers to Retire 3.2% Beer in Minnesota

(St. Paul, MN)  —  Minnesota is the last remaining state in the U-S that sells beer that contains three-point-two percent alcohol.

Utah ended its three-two beer laws in 2019.  Lance Klatt with the Minnesota Service Station and Convenience Store Association is urging state lawmakers to change our law.

Klatt said, “Minnesotans should have choice and convenience of where to buy their beer. Right now our state should stop standing in the way of growth and innovation while supporting our local craft beer boom.”

He says Minnesota’s prohibition-era three-two law is outdated and is causing convenience stores, grocery stores and resorts to lose sales and customers.
