It's no secret Florida has some strange beer laws. Growlers, anyone?
But Colorado? Arguably the center of the American craft beer movement?
Sure, you can buy a to-go beer in the industry standard 64-ounce growler (unlike Florida). You can only fill them at breweries (just like Florida, and unlike "progressive" states like South Carolina). But as I discovered during a recent trip to Colorado, don't go to your local Whole Foods to stock up on Colorado's famous beer.
Unless you're looking for near-beer, slang for beer with an ABV of 3.2 percent of less.
