(FOX 9) – The push to relax liquor laws for Minnesota breweries, distilleries and much of the hospitality industry is on, and many say it’s a matter of survival right now.
The Drink Local Economic Recovery Package is a proposal getting a lot of support.
Brewers say what they need to survive is pretty simple.
“We just want to sell products to the consumer in the form they want them,” said Dan Justesen with Utepils Brewing.
But while surviving COVID-19 has been tough, Utepils and other breweries say they haven’t been able to do the one thing that can help them: sell cans of beer straight to the consumer.
