I visited Utah when this was the case. The restaurant conversation went something like this:

Me: What do you have to drink?
Waiter: We have milk, juice, water.... [Meaningful pause.]
Me: Um, do you have any beer?
Waiter: Yes we do! We have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Sam Adams, and [a short list of low-to-mid-grade craft brews].
Me: What just happened there?
Waiter: [Explanation of state alcohol laws.]
