Victory In Alabama

May 22, 2009 By Jay Brooks

This is great news. The Alabama governor, Bob Riley, signed HB373, the Gourmet Beer Bill, into law this morning. Alabamans can immediately begin enjoying beer that’s above 6% a.b.v., as the new bill raised the limit to 13.9%. Still no Utopias or Samichlaus, but it’s a great step forward. The hops are finally free! Congratulations to the Free the Hops organization and all the hard work that went into this over the past four years.

    Good for them. I saw some guys from that area lobbying on at Dark Lord Day. That’s not a bad jump in percentage either.
