On Tuesday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed SB132 into law, lifting the state’s cap on grocery and convenience store beer from 3.2 percent to 4 percent alcohol by weight. The change, made in response to the declining availability of 3.2 beer in the market, maintains Utah’s position as having one of the lowest alcohol content limits in the nation. And its incremental approach divided the state’s brewing community, leading to a boycott of a prominent local beer maker by several bars. On this week’s episode of “Trib Talk," Tribune reporter Kathy Stephenson joins Benjamin Wood to discuss the latest change to Utah’s liquor laws, and the industry fallout it prompted in the state.

On Sunday, Utah became the first state in the nation to lower its drunk-driving limit to a blood alcohol content level of 0.05 percent or higher. The change, endorsed by the National Transportation Safety Board, is intended to discourage drunk driving at any level of intoxication. But critics argue the strict law targets responsible drinkers while doing little to prevent DUI fatalities, most of which are the result of drivers who are well in excess of the previous 0.08 limit. On this week’s “Trib Talk," Tribune reporter Kathy Stephenson and Salt Lake City defense attorney Jason Schatz join Benjamin Wood to discuss Utah’s new DUI law and the rights of Utahns’s suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol. “Trib Talk” is produced by Sara Weber with additional editing by Dan Harrie.
