| Description | The MillerCoors brands of beer have been ordered off the shelves and Minnesota residents could lose all access to beer and other booze due to the two-week-old state government shut down.
The Star Tribune of Minneapolis reported on Wednesday that bars, restaurants and stores across the state are unable to replenish their liquor and beer supplies because they can’t renew $20 state-issued alcohol purchasing cards.
And a state Department of Public Safety spokesman told the paper that the law requires beer labels in the MillerCoors corporate family — which includes the Blue Moon, Keystone and Molson brands — must be removed from Minnesota store shelves immediately because the company’s brand license has lapsed.
Cigarette sales could also stop by Labor Day if no deal is reached by then. |
