People who buy beer, wine, or liquor won’t notice most of the changes in Wisconsin’s proposed liquor law overhaul.
A plan that is quickly working its way through the Capitol would mostly impact the companies that make or sell alcohol, and is being hailed as a deal that’s been a longtime coming. One of the biggest changes would be a new state government office to focus on alcohol law enforcement, including a ban on things like beer-of-the-month clubs. For customers, the biggest changes will come at wedding barns that would be required to get liquor licenses or at breweries and wineries that would finally be allowed to sell drinks that they did not make themselves.
Republicans, Democrats, and the alcohol industry are all on-board with the plan.
