For many decades now, the only beer you could buy in Kansas grocery and convenience stores was limited to 3.2 percent alcohol. 

But on Monday, that 3.2 beer became a thing of the past.

“It’s a big step for the groceries and the state of Kansas,” says Dennis Toney, an executive with Ball’s Food Stores. “We’ve all wanted this for quite some time.”

Kansas is one of the last states to do away with this Depression-era alcohol, which looks likely to soon die out altogether.
