If you don't want to read the article, here's a summary:

"...relinquishes state control over high-alcohol-content beer.

That means bars and restaurants can now buy those beers directly from distributors, without having the state act as a middle-man. Local micro-breweries can now make those higher-proof beers for their customers.

Until today, John's Grocery has served as a state retailer for high-alcohol-content beer. Now, bars and restaurants can buy that beer directly from distributors instead of wholesale from the Iowa City store."

Great news! And, here's a thanks to John's Grocery -- thanks for serving the community amidst government interference! Always a place to visit when in Iowa City.
