Virginia’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Questions Beer Popsicles
Beer (& More) In Food ^ | 6-21-07 | Bob Skilnik

Is it one of the great alcoholic innovations of the 21st century — or an illegal way to serve beer? Frank Morales, the owner of the Rustico Restaurant in Alexandria, is selling the adult frozen treats in flavors like “Raspbeer-y” and “Fudgesicle.” They cost $4 for the 6-ounce size, shaped like a traditional Popsicle, and $6 for a larger “beer cone.”

But the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control says the “beersicles” run afoul of rules governing the serving and pouring of beer.

It would have to be pretty cold to freeze the alcohol in the beer.

Put a bottle or can of beer in the freezer and it will freeze solid without a problem. Most beers average 4-5% by volume (abv).

“Special Agent Philip Disharoon said the law requires beer to be served in its original container, or served immediately to a customer once it is poured from its original container.”

Yes Sir special agent.

And I was on my way to Kroger's to pick up a six. State run ABC blows another chance for profit.

Sounds like the Special Agent knows his stuff when it comes to proper “beer containment”.

Probably needs a beer.

Government intervention at it’s finest. Smile as you pass the traffic lights in Richmond, and give them the one finger wave.

There’s nothing quite like mandatory state-run liquor stores, as in Virginia. You get all the bad things about having a liquor store in your neighborhood (drunks, etc.) but you also get store clerks with the skill and vigor of a typical government bureaucrat, high prices, AND a crappy selection! It’s a perfect storm!

Sometimes I miss South Carolina and booze stores with giant red dots all over them.

I heard about this rule. Why can’t you just open the can of beer, stick a popsicle stick in there, and freeze it? Just use an Exacto-knife to slice away the top of the can, so you can remove the popsicle!
