Oklahoma liquor laws

[jedicurt]

So as someone a few posts brought up, are beers now smaller at bars and restaurants?

i know there are limits as it increases in ABV... but i am not aware of any beer that was being served as a low point 3.2, that is now over 9% ABV... i could be wrong though

I do know that you can't sell more than two drinks to one person. But a "drink" is not specified by any size/amount/alcohol content, which is a bit odd. So two shots = two drinks, two light beers = two drinks, etc.

I wonder if braums would be able to sell beer and wine in their grocery section?

They probably could but they've never carried beer in the past.

My roommate was apparently unable to find a single parking spot at TJs earlier today.

I dropped by the Urban Homeland around lunch, and it seemed like everyone was rolling out of there with large cases of High Point Beer. Felt like I was in Dallas, Texas, for a minute.

Ubran Homeland. I shall use that henceforth.

I think it’s pretty good too. I told my wife and she’s going to see if it might catch on in the office.

I think Blue Moon was probably the strongest normal brew (other than Bud Light Platinum) that was watered down to 3.2% for Oklahoma. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. The full-strength version is 5.4%. Drinking a full-strength 4.2% Bud Light Lime right now. There is a huge difference in taste, even though in ABV % it's only like an additional 0.2%.

I bought refrigerated beer at a liquor store at 9:15 last night. What a time to be alive

I was hoping my medical marijuana card would show up in the mail yesterday. I had planned to put it in my pocket, and go get a bottle of wine at WalMart! Oh well. It's coming by snail mail, and I don't drink wine anyway, so what the hell.

I saw a liquor store that was open at 10 last night.

These taken at Sam's Club at 39th & May.

You can see that of 7 bins, 1 is dedicated to craft beers.

[Head]

WOW! Lagunitas AND Sierra Nevada Pale Ale! Didn't see that coming. On the other hand, WalMart has huge liquor sections in their Missouri stores. So, I guess they know how to do this.

Seems like pretty good prices for a 12 pack. I'm used to seeing those boulevard wheats for $18-$20, IIRC

*two drinks at a time.

A noticeable difference? If anything you're dining a fresher batch but detecting a difference with 0.2% is highly unlikely.

When I get the time, I want to do a bit of a price break-down at some of the major new distributors.

The prices I saw here were pretty darn reasonable.

Also, I didn't notice if they have any cold beer at Sam's but IIRC Costco never did in California.

That Joel Gott 815 is one of our faves, and it's usually closer to $20 at the few liquor stores I frequent. Even Uptown had it for around $16, so $13 is a steal.

Is that $15 for a Lagunitas IPA 12 pack or 6?

With their focus as a "warehouse" and bulk purchase store, rather than a store for personal consumption (despite the fact that many of us use it for household purchases) I am not that surprised.

That's a 12pk pricing. Probably a buck of two more at the liquor store.

So, it seems that any concern about local craft beer actually cost more with the new laws is unwarranted, at least at some outlets.

Can't really tell from the pic what any of the local craft beer costs though. You happen to remember what any of those Anthem beers were selling for?

Edit: Sorry, totally missed the sign overhead in the first pic! Looks like $8 something. Probably close to $9. If those are 6 packs that's a fairly good price for those relative to what i'm used to seeing, which is closer to $2/can for that Golden One

I work at a Harps grocery store which is headquartered in Arkansas and while tagging the wine and doing the sets many of the folks from Arkansas were commenting on our much cheaper prices. A few examples, a Cupcake wine is $10.28 here, in the AR price file it was $13.92. Barefoot large bottles (real big bottles) $8.98 here, $15.97 there. We're really seeing it in the wines, the prices are very affordable. We aren't carrying a ton of craft beer yet but I'm interested to see what happens there.

I saw on Hollywood Corner's FB page they will now require ID's from 2 people to purchase a bucket of beers.
Hollywood Corner is between Moore & Norman on N Porter & Franklin Rd. They have many events there, Bike Nights, Hot Rod nights & pay-per view sporting events.
