Des Moines, Iowa — Sales of liquor in Iowa set record numbers in each of the last two fiscal years during the pandemic.
Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division spokesman, Jake Holmes, says sales have increased since the end of the last fiscal year.
Sales increased 13 percent and eight percent in the last two fiscal years — each setting a sales record.
Holmes says they are in their busiest time of the year.
He says while the sales have set records in the last two fiscal years — the favorite brands haven’t really seen much change.
Holmes says they always kept a good supply of the most popular items in stock and that helped them overcome any shortages.
