Grocery and big-box stores in Colorado will no longer be able to apply for state licenses to sell hard alcohol under a bill signed Thursday, April 10, by Gov. Jared Polis.

Senate Bill 33 is hailed as a win for independent liquor store owners and craft alcohol producers who’ve been reeling since the introduction of wine in grocery stores, the result of a 2022 state ballot measure.

“The bill is truly a victory for independent retail liquor stores and the craft beverage industry and the economy it supports from the farm to the table,” wrote Chris Carran, a board member for Colorado Independent Liquor Stores United, in a text message.
