When a new state law takes effect Friday, Oklahoma craft brewers will legally be able to sell pints of full-strength beer for consumption on the premises, according to an opinion issued Tuesday by Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt.

Sean Mossman, director of sales and marketing for Oklahoma City-based Coop Ale Works, said he and other craft brewers were overjoyed to learn of the attorney general's opinion that will allow them to sell glasses of full-strength beer beginning Friday.

"Once we recover from the shock and breathe a massive sigh of relief, we as craft brewers are going to have a heck of a party on Friday," Mossman said.

Oklahoma craft brewers were left in limbo last week when the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission said the law might not actually allow for full-strength beer sales by the glass in brewery taprooms.
