In case you missed the news this week, Colorado lawmakers approved a bill that will allow restaurants to continue selling beer, wine and spirits to go for another four years and possibly longer. Although the measure faced some opposition from liquor stores, it was overwhelmingly popular under the Capitol dome.
Prior to the pandemic, eateries weren t allowed to sell takeaway booze, but Governor Polis signed and then extended an executive order allowing them to do so as a way to help the restaurants survive while they weren t allowed to host customers on site or had limited capacities. The order expires on June 30.
