Will wine win?

CAMPUSNEWS

Allowing Sunday wine sales may put small businesses in danger Sarah Plemmons Staff Writer

Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) is pushing for legislation that would allow wine to be sold on Sundays in grocery stores, but liquor store owners say the legislation may hurt their businesses.

Tennessee law prohibits the sale of all alcoholic beverages in grocery stores, gas stations and liquor stores from 11 p.m. on Saturday through 6 a.m. on Monday. Liquor stores must also close on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and the sale of alcoholic beverages is not allowed on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July.

The legislation Ketron is sponsoring, HB078 in the House and SB0923 in the Senate, would remove the current restrictions and open up the sale of wine to match the hours that beer is sold, which varies by county. In Knox County, beer and wine can be sold in supermarkets from 6 a.m to 11 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

In March 2014, grocery stores were permitted to sell wine Monday through Saturday.

However, within the last 10 months, they have come back with an even bigger request: to sell wine on Sundays and major holidays.

Rob Ikard, president of the Tennessee Grocers and Convenience Stores association, helped grocery stores to be allowed to sell wine in 2014. Three years later, he asked the Tennessee legislature for more.

“It (2014 wine legislation) had been much anticipated, and grocery store customers were excited to finally buy wine where they buy their food. It was a banner day for wine sales in grocery stores,” Ikard said. “Then Sunday came and everybody tried to buy wine and they were told they had to put it back on the shelves because the law that passed in 2014 prohibits grocery stores from selling wine on hours that liquor stores are required to be closed.”

John Cook, owner of Toddy’s Liquor and Wine located on Kingston Pike, said consumers should be able to buy wine when they want, but that selling wine on Sundays does come with additional considerations.

“Shouldn’t you be able to buy what you want when you want to?” Cook said. “A lot of these laws are archaic. Then again, there are so many issues.”

With the new legislation, not only would grocery stores continue competing with liquor stores as wine providers, but they would be able to sell on the days previously prohibited. As a result, liquor stores would be forced to keep their doors open on days

A Tennessee bill is pushing for wine to be sold in grocery stores on Sundays.

Sarah Ali • The Daily Beacon they have had off for years to keep up with the competition.

Helen Morton, co-owner of University Liquors on Cumberland Ave., said the bill doesn’t seem important now, but there may be issues in the future.

“This doesn’t sound like that big of a deal, and it wouldn’t be except the ink isn’t even dry on our agreement,” Morton said. “If we give into selling wine on Sundays, it’s just opening the door for them to come back for more.”

Since July, wine sales in liquor stores across the state have dropped 30 to 40 percent, Cook said. If the new legislation allows wine sales on Sundays, Cook predicts a 15 percent increase in labor cost for his store to operate on that extra day.

One of the greatest concerns of liquor store owners is that supermarkets may take the monopoly on wine sales and push out small, family-owned businesses like Toddy’s and University Liquors.

“I’m a minority business owner. I’m a woman business owner, and that’s also critical. I try to have a real empathy for small businesses,” Morton said. “With the direction this legislation is going, you look around and try to find a mom-and-pop grocery store, and well, they’re gone.”

Morton is part of the Cumberland Avenue Merchants’ Association and the Tennessee Wine and Spirits Retailers Association, both of which are pushing to keep small businesses open and big corporations out of wine sales.

She said the associations worry the interest around wine sales is not for the benefit of consumers or business owners, but for the benefit of the legislators.

“The person that’s got the most money

lobbying is going to win. The most money always wins in politics,” Cook said. “You’ve got guys in the real estate business deciding the fate of the liquor business. You’ve got people in the insurance business deciding what’s best for roads and transportation. Let’s face it. These legislatures aren’t the smartest people in the world.”

Morton and Cook agreed that wine sales on Sundays are not the real problem - it’s the fight that small businesses are having to put up in order to keep their doors open.

“We just really want to try to keep small businesses as long as we can,” Morton said.

While the Tennessee Grocers and Convenience Stores Association includes big vendors like Kroger and Publix, they also advocate for small, family-owned convenience stores.

“It’s not so much about what size of business is selling wine. It’s about serving our customers and giving them the convenience of buying wine when and where they buy their food,” Ikard said. “It does not make sense to our customers to be able to buy beer on Sundays, but the wine that’s right across the aisle is not for sale.”

Ikard said he is not optimistic about the bill passing in 2017, but that liquor stores need to adapt.

“We’ve actually met with some fairly legislative resistance from one sector and one sector only, and that is the liquor stores. They have lobbied against this bill because for some reason they want to be closed on Sunday,” Ikard said. “It’s just time for the liquor stores to come to terms with the new realities of the alcohol market.”

Ketron was not available for comment.

Bringing back ‘the beer that made Knoxville famous’ Megan Patterson

Managing Editor This spring, four UT alumni teamed up to bring a 35-year-old beer back to life.

Rick Kuhlman Jr., Chase Wilson, Rick Kuhlman III and Harrison Collins hope to rerelease the 1982 World’s Fair Beer on tap and in its original canned form in honor of the fair’s 35th anniversary. The new beer will be available for the same span of time as the original — May through October.

Although the men share an Alma Mater, Collins said that Kuhlman Jr., Wilson, Kuhlman III and Collins all fill very different roles in the revival process as The Originator, The Brewmaster, The Brains and The Hustle, respectively.

Kuhlman Jr. debuted the original World’s Fair Beer while working for Pinnacle Sales as a beer distributor in the early 1980s. Collins said that Kuhlman Jr. aimed to provide a collectible item that would allow him to leave his mark on the city and “given all the things he had at his disposal” the World’s Fair Beer was born.

Nearly 30 years later, Kuhlman Jr. met Collins while the later was a student at UT and became a mentor for the 2015 marketing and entrepreneurship graduate.

“Pretty much his whole life (Kuhlman Jr.) has spent investing in young people...,” Collins said. “He’s the unofficial mayor of Knoxville; he’s the man.”

So, when Collins received a call from Kuhlman Jr. in January asking for Collins’ help in the World’s Fair Beer project, he couldn’t say no.

Although the beer’s originator is spearheading the project, Collins said that the beer itself is a “complete 180” from its predecessor. While the original brew was designed as a collector’s item, the second generation World’s Fair Beer is “meant to be drank.”

“If you drank (the original beer), you were sorry in two ways: One, you decreased the value of the can because you opened it; and, two, you had tasted the beer, which was not very good,” Collins said. “Now it’s a beer that is meant to be drank, meant to be enjoyed.”

However, the World’s Fair Beer team doesn’t see this as a break from the original. Instead, just as the original 1982 pilsner catered to public taste, Collins said the craft beer style of the new beer fits the public’s demand. With this in mind, the group turned to Wilson, an avid homebrewer, and Marty Velas, owner of Fanatic Brewing, to perfect the beer’s new recipe.

Velas, who Collins said has “a reputation

for putting out world class beers,” opened his own craft brewery in Knoxville after more than 20 years of providing brewmaster consulting services throughout the U.S. and Japan. He said that the World’s Fair Beer team wanted to trade in the original light lager for something “a little tastier.”

“Chase Wilson had an IPA recipe that they liked, but they didn’t want it to be quite that assertive,” Velas said. “So they tooled it with my help into a pale ale, so it will be more drinkable than an IPA, which is a stronger, bitterer version.”

Despite the beer’s radical transformation, Collins said he hopes it will still have crossgenerational appeal.

“I think there’s a ton of passion and devotion put into this beer,” Collins said. “We tried to find some middle ground there and make a pale ale that’s both approachable and smooth, full of great flavor, but nothing that’s going to scare somebody away who maybe grew up drinking light beers from the ‘80s .. but certainly enough of an experience for the avid craft beer drinker.”

The taste may be a departure from the original, but the team plans to use the can as a throwback. They collected original World’s Fair Beer cans and handcrafted them into tap knobs for bars who will serve the new brew.

Additionally, the newly packaged cans will keep

the exact same design, but with the story of the World’s Fair Beer printed on the back.

Collins said that the team hopes to “pay homage to what a great historical event the World’s Fair was for Knoxville and how it sort of launched our city to the next level.” And, as part of their homage to Knoxville, 20 percent of the profits made on the new World’s Fair Beer will be given back to community organizations.

“This is Knoxville’s beer. This was acclaimed the beer that made Knoxville famous in ‘82,” Collins said. “We want the public to help guide us on where some of these profits should be going.”

Anyone can submit suggestions for community organizations profits should go toward using the World’s Fair Beer website contact form, along with any additional feedback.

“This is not about four guys and their idea to make a beer,” Collins said. “This is about Knoxville’s beer and the beer that made Knoxville famous. Having the community involved in it and excited about it is exactly what we were hoping for.”

The World’s Fair Beer will be released on tap at currently undisclosed locations across Knoxville starting Friday, April 28. The canned product will be released in late June. For more information, visit http://www.worldsfairbeer. com/.

What’s on tap in Knoxville Balter Beerworks Bear Blend ABV: 5.6% A Coffee Oatmeal Porter that Balter calls a “breakfast replacement beer:” oats balance the acidic cold brew coffee from Three Bears Coffee.

The opening of Balter Beerworks introduced a microbrewery with a full-service restaurant to downtown—in a former service station for a modern yet reclaimed feel. Balter aims to brew approachable, traditional style beers with creative twists. The concept began with Knoxvillians Blaine Wedekind and Will Rutemeyer, who began brewing together in Blaine’s garage in West Knoxville. Now, Balter sticks to the classics while incorporating some experimental brews into the mix.

Alliance Brewing

by Jenna Butz Arts & Culture Editor

Last Days of Autumn

Citra Blonde ABV: 5.5%

Fanatic Black ABV: 5.5%

Kentucky Common ABV: 6.1%

This American Blonde ale is light and clean with a smooth, fruity finish thanks to the Citra hops.

This traditional Schwartz Bier drinks like a lighter beer but has the dry and roasty finish of a dark beer.

Creating a style all Last Days' own, barley, corn and rye are brewed with a hint of European oak to create this brew.

Alliance opened its South Knoxville taproom in 2015 with a promise to foster an active beer culture and a constantly changing lineup up of brews. Part of the growth of South Knoxville's Sevier Avenue, Alliance treats craft beer like a lifestyle. With the brewery and taproom's location near much of Knoxville's Urban Wilderness, their beers are crafted to fit into the city's outdoors community.

Currently, Fanatic Brewing is purely distribution based, meaning fans can find their four core beers at different bars and taprooms in town instead of at the actual brewery. However, the Fanatic team is working on adding a tasting room to its massive Central Avenue setup, where guests will be able to taste the four beers that make Fanatic a local favorite: the Tennessee Blonde, a pale ale, the Fanatic Red and the Fanatic Black.

Unlike most other breweries, Last Days of Autumn has designed their brewery to allow for constant changes, meaning they don't have set styles or classics that customers can look for. Instead, each beer is created based on seasonality, customer requests, availability of ingredients and the whim of the brew masters. This helps this brewery achieve their goal of allowing customers to try something new with every visit.

Blackhorse Brewery

Crafty Bastard

Vanilla Cream Ale ABV: 5.2%

Tessellation IPA ABV: 6.2%

This light and refreshing American-style cream ale is brewed with Vienna Malt, American two-row barley and natural vanilla bean, and can also be bought canned in stores.

Crafty Bastard describes this brew as dank and complex with loads of mango notes.

Husband and wife duo Jeff and Sherri Robinson started Blackhorse as a pub in Clarksville, TN in 1992. By 1995, they had constructed their own brewery—one of the first craft breweries in the Southeast. After Blackhorse became a mainstay in Clarksville, the couple opened their Knoxville location nearly 20 years after that first pub. Opening a Knoxville brewery, their only other location, honored Sherri Robinson's hometown and where the couple met as UT students.

Fanatic Brewing

Winner of the Knoxville Mercury 2016 Top Knox Reader's Poll “Top Craft Brewery” honor, this nanobrewery specializes in unconventional, experimental craft beers.

The brewery has intentionally kept their operation small to create high quality, unique beers, such as tropical flavored IPAs, Earl Grey infused pale ales and Samoa-flavored porters. Founded in 2014 by Aaron McClain and Jen Parker, the duo traveled to the United States to bring their beers to the 4th and Gill neighborhood.

Saw Works Brewing Rocky Hop IPA ABV: 6.1% Crafted with an orange body and white head to celebrate UT, spiced orange marmalade aromas transition to hints of citrus zest with a hoppy finish.

Saw Works was Knoxville's first microbrewery, situated in the Warehouse District just past Old City. The company has focused on crafting approachable beers since its inception as Marble City Brewing in 2010. With the name change though came some experimentation at the brewery's taproom, where they try out small batches of twists on their classics, such as a chai infused brown ale.

5

Schulz Brau Brewing Munich Dunkel ABV: 5.4% Known as the first true beer style, this Bavarian lager is dark in color but highly drinkable with soft, malty flavors.

Founded by the German Schultz family, the founders wanted to bring traditional German beer to Knoxville, because while they loved moving to America, they missed the tradition of beer in their native Germany.

Instead of “americanizing” their beer though, the Schultz family looked to create authentic German brews with a personal touch. Combining their beers with a biergarten, Schulz Brau brings the German experience to Knoxville—complete with liter sized bier steins.

Two walk-off wins help Vols take shortened series Taylor Crombie Staff Writer

Although Monday night’s series finale was canceled, the No. 14 Tennessee softball team won the series against No. 9 Alabama over the weekend and moved to third in the SEC standings.

Monday’s game was delayed due to lightning with two outs in the top of the fourth inning, and was eventually canceled as heavier rain moved into the area. It will not be made up, and because less than the minimum five innings were played, none of the stats from the 3.2 innings count.

Tennessee (39-5, 11-3 SEC) took an early lead in the first inning off of a sacrifice fly from Brooke Vines that drove in Aubrey Leach, but

Every time you go out there, you’ve got to be ready to throw punches.

You know you’re going to get hit in the mouth and you’ve got to be ready to punch right back.�

Alabama (36-9, 10-7 SEC) answered in the third with RBI doubles from Bailey Hemphill and Chandler Dare to put the Crimson Tide up 3-1.

It was a relatively low-scoring series for the Volunteers who are usually exceptionally hot at the plate at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium. Headed

Karen Weekly, co-head coach

into the series, they had outscored opponents 159-38 at home, but the Vols were only able to pick up five runs against Alabama.

Tennessee won the series with back-to-back walk-offs. The Volunteers started off behind in the series opener on Saturday and were unable

to score until the bottom of the sixth when Brooke Vines singled up the middle to drive in Megan Geer. Taylor Rowland hit a ground ball down the first base line later in the inning with the bases loaded, forcing Sheridan Allen to make a break for home plate. Allen beat the throw to tie the game 2-2.

The Vols had a bases loaded, no outs situation in the bottom of the seventh that quickly turned into a two-out situation with Chelsea Seggern at the plate. The freshman hit a line drive single over the top of the second baseman’s glove to give Tennessee the 3-2 walk-off win.

Vines was the difference maker in Game 2 on Sunday. The sophomore hit a two-run shot to center-field for her first career walk-off home run and extend Tennessee’s win-streak to 18 games.

Vols hope to find mid-week rhythm against UNC Asheville Damichael Cole Saff Writer

The Tennessee baseball team won their first three, mid-week games in SEC play, but now they’re in danger of dropping three in a row.

After loses against in-state schools Middle Tennessee State and East Tennessee State, the Vols will take on a team from a bordering state: UNC Asheville (14-21, 5-7 Big South).

UNC Asheville is a familiar opponent. The Vols are 25-7 all-time against the Bulldogs.

The two teams met twice last season, and the Vols won in a one-sided affair each time – 7-3 on the road and 11-0 in Knoxville.

This game couldn’t have come at a better time for the Vols after losing two straight to their aforementioned in-state rivals and a series defeat last weekend against Auburn, which including a 3-2 loss on Thursday and an 8-1 loss on Saturday.

“We will come out ready to practice on Tuesday, and we will come out ready to play UNC Asheville on Wednesday,” head coach Dave Serrano said.

Jeff Moberg has been one of the key pieces to the offense all season, but he has slowed down some after his sizzling hot start. The D1Baseball.com Midseason All-American’s batting average has dropped to .326 after flirting with.400 for most of the season.

This will also be Moberg’s first crack at the Bulldogs since he injured his left knee in the teams’ first matchup last season. Moberg also faced off against UNC Asheville in 2015, registering a hit and a walk in the Vols’ win.

As a team this season, the Vols have been inconsistent at the plate. After piling up 11 hits on Saturday against the Tigers, Tennessee was held to just five hits on Sunday, but the opportunities could present themselves on Tuesday against a Bulldogs pitching staff that has a combined 6.19

earned run average on the season.

“It’s very frustrating,” Jordan Rodgers said on the team’s struggles hitting. “We have to start taking advantage when the chances come.”

Wednesday’s game, which is at home with first pitch slated for 6 p.m., could end up being a rubber match, as UNC Asheville hasn’t been a very good team at the plate this season, either. As a team, they’re hitting .217 and have zero batters batting over .275 for the season.

The one strength of the Bulldogs this season is their outfielding assists. Their outfielders have given 13 assists on the season, which is third in the nation.

On the mound for the Vols will be Will Neely (1-1, 5.65 ERA), who will earn his fifth start of the season. Neely is coming off one of his better outings of the season on Sunday against Auburn where he allowed just one hit and struck out four batters in only two innings of work.

After this mid-week matchup, the Vols will travel to College Station, Texas to take on the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend for a three-game series. With a mid-week game against ETSU at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tennessee and a series in Nashville against Vanderbilt next week, the Vols won’t return home until May 2 when they face ETSU at home.

SOFTBALL continued from Page 6 As always, Vines watched what pitches were thrown to the batter ahead of her to get a feel for what she was going to see at the plate. With a runner on base, Vines hit her third home run of the season, giving the Vols the 2-0 win.

“I knew my job was just to move the runner and I guess I did that,” Vines laughed. “Honestly, it was such a team win. Although I got the hit, our bench was amazing. I could hear them the whole time and our pitchers have been holding it down all weekend.”

Tennessee’s pitching staff was a huge key to success this weekend. Matty Moss pitched her fifth complete-game shutout of the season Sunday night. The sophomore threw a season-high 131 pitches with seven strikeouts to improve to 20-1.

Caylan Arnold struck out six in her sixth complete game of the season and allowed only two runs on three hits Saturday night.

With the road trip to No. 11 LSU this weekend, Tennessee co-head coach Karen Weekly said she hopes the Volunteers were able to learn a few things about facing a strong pitching staff in the Alabama series. She also would like to see the team play Game 3 just as tough as Game 1.

“I thought today in the three innings we played, we just didn’t have as much toughness as we saw the first two nights and we’ve got to learn how to stay tough for three days straight,” Weekly said.

“Every time you go out there, you’ve got to be ready to throw punches. You know you’re going to get hit in the mouth sometimes and you’ve got to be ready to punch right back.”

Game 1 against LSU starts Friday night at 7 p.m., and will be broadcast on SEC Network+. The Tigers were swept

by No. 22 Ole Miss last weekend and lost the series to Alabama the weekend before that.
