Recreational ax-throwing and 3.2 beer will be allowed to mix at a new Salt Lake City business, even though members of the state liquor commission say it could be a recipe for disaster — or at least severe injuries.
“I’m having a hard time getting my mind around alcohol and axes together,” said commissioner Neal Berube. “We are focused on safety first and foremost and don’t want anyone to get hurt.”
Despite the concerns, the liquor commission on Tuesday voted 5-1 to give Social Axe Throwing a recreational beer license. However, the commission asked the company to return in six months and report on any safety issues or underage drinking problems.
