BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Chipotle has opened at Cornerstone Plaza on South Harrison Avenue and is drawing crowds with its signature burritos, while local favorites like La Sirena at 501 S.

- ➤ Sam Adams announced a new beer called Samuel Adams Utopia 2025 that has 30% ABV and is banned in Montana due to state law limiting high-alcohol beers—this product will not be available here. The regulation treats beers over 8.75% ABV as liquor, which makes the new brew illegal in the state. KXTL
