Real beer makes its way here | press-citizen.com | Iowa City Press Citizen
Those of you with a preference for beers measured in “drinkability,” an industry term that means (and I am not making this up) “like water,” need read no further. What follows is news for those of us who favor the big, ponderous, powerful and complex beers made by artisans with a passion for the craft.
A few weeks ago, you may remember that I reported here on the passage of legislation that changed the liquor laws in Iowa. Since that momentous day, the biggest change since the shuttering of the state stores in the mid-'80s, so-called high-alcohol beer could be imported directly by distributors rather than via the state. Previous to this action, because of an arcane twist in the law, beer with 12 percent alcohol had to be purchased through the state while wine with the same (or even higher) percentage could be obtained without disturbing the folks in Ankeny.
