North Carolina’s drink laws are outdated.

The House ABC Committee unanimously approved language to modernize access to low-alcohol, spirit-based, ready-to-drink canned cocktails. Now we need the Senate to act.

A 5% canned cocktail shouldn’t be treated like a bottle of liquor when similar products are already sold responsibly across our state.

This is common-sense modernization that supports local businesses and gives consumers modern choices.

🚨 NORTH CAROLINA - This affects us all.

North Carolina’s canned cocktail laws are outdated, and it’s time for common sense modernization.

Popular ready-to-drink canned cocktails like High Noon, NÜTRL, Surfside, and similar products can only be sold through ABC stores — even though many are lower in alcohol than products retailers already sell responsibly every day.

This is a win for consumers, small businesses, wholesalers, restaurants, bars, and tourism communities across North Carolina.

Watch the WTKR News 3 story, learn more, and contact your legislator if you support modernizing North Carolina’s RTD laws.

🚨 North Carolina, it’s time to modernize our outdated canned cocktail law.

Thank you to WTKR News 3 for helping share this important story.

Right now, popular spirit-based ready-to-drink canned cocktails like High Noon, NÜTRL, Surfside, and similar products can only be sold through ABC stores in North Carolina — even though many are lower in alcohol than products retailers already sell responsibly every day.

This is not about replacing the ABC system. It’s about common sense modernization.

The RTD language was unanimously approved in the House ABC Committee, and now we need the Senate to act quickly and include it in the final bill.

This is a win for consumers, small businesses, restaurants, bars, wholesalers, tourism communities, and the ABC system.

Brew Thru has proudly served the Outer Banks for nearly 50 years. We simply want to offer customers the products they are already asking for — safely, responsibly, and under the same strict ID-checking laws we follow today.

Please read, share, and help keep the momentum going.

🚨 Brew Thru Customer Update — We Need Your Help!

North Carolina is considering legislation that would allow licensed retailers like Brew Thru, grocery stores, convenience stores, and wine shops to sell sealed, low-ABV, spirit-based premixed cocktails like High Noon, Nutrl, Cutwater, Stateside, and similar products.

These are not bottles of liquor. They are sealed, ready-to-drink canned beverages with alcohol levels comparable to beer, wine, and hard seltzers already sold responsibly in retail stores every day.

The North Carolina House ABC Committee unanimously approved language allowing these products to be sold in licensed retail locations. Now we need the North Carolina Senate to include this language in HB 198 and help get it across the finish line.

This is about consumer choice, fair competition, supporting small businesses, and updating outdated laws so North Carolina can catch up with the 12 out of 17 control states that already allow this including Virginia.

It will also help restaurants and bars by creating a more convenient distribution system through existing beer and wine wholesalers.

If you would like to see Brew Thru and other licensed North Carolina retailers be able to sell low-ABV premixed cocktails, please contact your North Carolina Senator and ask them to support adding the RTD / premixed cocktail language to HB 198.
