Consumers should expect delays and thinly stocked shelves Nov. 1 as Utah attempts to make a one-day switch from 3.2 beer to higher alcohol brews, says Sal Petilos, executive director of the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Petilos also announces who is on the state’s new beer transition task force and gives an update on new liquor stores in Utah. Hint: Some cities don’t want them. Listen here.
