H 305 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act for all licensees for beer to be drunk on the premises must list the alcohol by volume for each beer selection on the menu

This bill requires restaurants and other establishments that serve beer on the premises to list the alcohol by volume for every beer option on their menus. The law would apply to all licensees in Massachusetts who allow customers to consume beer at their location, ensuring that this specific nutritional information is clearly available to patrons. By adding a new section to the state's alcoholic liquor laws, the measure aims to increase transparency so that consumers can make informed choices about the strength of the beverages they order.
