Yet another reason why it sucks to live in the South. Remnants of prohibition and the religious conservatism of the bible belt still marks the South. Why in a free nation should we not be able to brew our own beer? Part of freedom is responsibility, the government needs to allow people to have the weight on their shoulders to make decisions about alcohol and other stuff…

THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! By far the best thing to happen to the green movement. The sad part is it is also the best thing to come of green bottles. It is widely known that green bottles left in sunlight can become skunky, AKA the nasty Heineken in the truck stop by the motel eight you decided to sleep at.

North Carolina has changed the law making it illegal to make or distribute beer above 6 percent alcohol. This story reports the smart man in the state who jumped on the opportunity to make a wonderful craft distribution company. Business is booming after only a year at work. He is fighting the good fight to bring better beer to the masses, and he’s making a profit. Congratulations to him, seems like a dream job to me.

I am happy to say that the craft brewers of America are growing in volume and product width. They are successfully competing with the likes of Anheuser Busch and Coors even from the production standpoint. My hope is that time goes on more and more individuals who did not think themselves beer drinkers are able to find a brew to enjoy. Thank you microbrewers for pushing our understanding of beer taste and quality!
