It’s Hangover
Thursday, how’s your head? Mine is far
too clear. I haven’t been making it out
to the bar nearly enough in the past month.
I miss it. Of course more and
more people are staying home and drinking their own beer now days. And by that I don’t mean they’re staying home
drinking beer they brought home from the supermarket, I mean they’re drinking
beer they brewed themselves.
If you’re in
Mississippi you could be legally brewing your own beer pretty soon. A bill to allow home brewing is on its way to
Gov. Phil Bryant. There is a pretty good
chance Bryant will pass the bill, last year he approved raising the state’s
maximum alcohol limits on beer.
Currently you need to have a $1,000 commercial brewing license if you
want to home brew, this bill will change all that.
Currently Mississippi
and Alabama are the only states where it isn’t legal to brew your own
beer. Alabama may not be too far behind
Mississippi. Rep. Mac McCutcheon has
just introduced a home brewing bill. It
isn’t a sure thing for either state though.
Anytime alcohol is involved there are lobby groups ready to fight
against it. The big breweries also look
down on home brewing; worried that it’s going to cut into their own
profits.
