Right now you can buy beer from grocery stores BUT there's a totally separate check out line you have to use to do so. It's sort of a second business operating inside the grocery store and you aren't allowed to mingle groceries/alcohol when checking out.

You can also get them to-go from bars, bottle shops (which I think are technically bars but they're designed to feel like stores), beer distributers, and some delivery apps. It's pretty wacky that you can't buy beer and groceries in the same line at a store but you can order a double whiskey shot at 2 AM for last call and get a six pack to walk out with.

Liquor is still entirely state run. Wine is sold via both liquor and grocery stores (which makes no sense to me unless there's a rule saying wine can be sold outside of state stores if it's below a certain BAC).
