AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah law currently has no formal definition of "beer" specific to off-premise beer retailers — stores like grocery stores and convenience stores that sell beer to-go — and this bill creates one. Under the new definition, beer must be a malt-based beverage with between 0.5% and 5% alcohol by volume, clearly labeled as beer, ale, porter, stout, lager, a malt, a malted beverage, or seltzer. The definition explicitly excludes flavored malt beverages, products containing alcohol derived from liquor or wine, products with additives like kratom or CBD that alter how alcohol affects the body, and any beverage with added flavorings unrelated to its fermentation process.
