C'mon Alabama Senate ... Free the Hops!

A tip of the tam to a goodly portion of the Alabama House for finally doing the right thing on gourmet beer sales in Alabama. Despite the best efforts of ALCAP (Alabama Citizens Action Program) to not even let the bill come up for a vote it seems common sense has prevailed up on Goat Hill. Bob Johnson of AP provides the reporting. Representatives Richard Laird and DuWayne Bridges from down near my "home" still need some education on good beer and kids and ... yet they didn't sound nearly as out of touch as that last vote from April. Congrats to Free the Hops and Dan as well. Now for the Senate. And surely Governor Riley will not stand in the way of this given the international flavor to some of the arguments of supporters.
