<P> The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, simply adds a $10 "alcohol membership fee" to the bill of all first time patrons . </P> <P> Prior to July 2009, non-intoxicating beer was defined as all malt based beverages that contained at least 0.5% ABV and not more than 6% ABV . Therefore, all beer sold in WV could not contain more than 6% ABV . This effectively eliminated nearly 2 / 3 of all beer being produced throughout the world from being purchased in WV . Beginning in 2005 there were many attempts to raise that limit so that the WV market would be opened to the many world class beers that were, at the time, illegal to purchase in WV . The WV Beer Wholesalers Association were initially opposed to the change in the law stating that it would cause higher rates of underage drinking and DUI's . The facts however showed that this was not the case and in 2009, the WV Beer Wholesalers Association changed their stance on the subject and, along with the beer consumer advocacy group West Virginia Craft Beer Society, proceeded to lobby the Legislature to pass HB 2719, aka "The Craft Beer Bill" and change the definition of "non-intoxicating beer" to all malt based beverages between 0.5% and 12% ABV . The WV Legislature passed the bill in April 2009 and Governor Joe Manchin signed the bill into law in July 2009 . </P> <P> Retail sale of beer and wine is prohibited on Sundays between 2: 00 a.m. and 1: 00 p.m. and between 2: 00 a.m. and 7: 00 a.m. on weekdays and Saturdays .
