Council votes to allow draft beer bill

WINFIELD - The Winfield City Council passed a resolution during a special-called meeting on Monday, April 29, to allow local legislators to introduce a draft beer bill into the 2019 regular session of the Alabama legislature. If passed, the bill will allow the council to decide whether or not to allow the sale of draft beer within the city limits of Winfield. The council held the meeting to vote on the measure after the Winfield Alcohol board recommended that the council look into draft beer sales.
Winfield Mayor Randy Price said he has received numerous inquiries in the past six months about the sale of draft beer.
“We’ve had some concerns and questions from various people that want to put in a sports grill near the interstate and other things,” Price said during the special-called meeting.
