An Act relative to notification of alcohol by volume in beers to be consumed on the premises
This bill requires restaurants and bars in Massachusetts to list the alcohol by volume percentage for every beer option on their menus. It directly affects all licensees who serve alcohol on the premises, such as bars, restaurants, and taverns. The law mandates that this information be clearly displayed alongside beer selections to help consumers make informed choices. This change aims to increase transparency regarding the strength of alcoholic beverages without altering existing sales or licensing rules.
