Alabama's Homebrewers

Post by King Of Hearts »

The Alabama House passed HB 354, a bill to legalize homebrewing, today after a lengthy debate. The bill now moves on to the Alabama Senate.

There were several references to the hundreds of messages the representatives had received from Alabama homebrewers. All those contacts have paid off.

Congratulations to Alabama's homebrewers. Good luck in the Senate.

Wow, surprised it passed by such a narrow margin (44-33). It's sad to see such narrow-mindedness for something so benign.

It appears as though the bill did not make it to vote in the senate this year.

But since the momentum is going, it looks like they'll have sponsors for next year's session. Sorry, Alabamans, you'll have to wait another year :(
That will leave Mississippi as the only place where homebrewing is illegal.
