Draggingtree Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The Beer Fight: Georgia’s Casey Cagle Sides With Crony CapitalistsBy: Erick Erickson (Diary) | February 25th, 2015 at 12:33 PM Georgia is one of five states that prohibits craft beer brewers from selling their product to people touring the breweries. It seems like a no brainer and a win-win for everybody. A tourist tours a brewery, likes what they sample, takes home some beer, then goes to his local grocery store to buy more. But that is illegal in Georgia. State Senator Hunter Hill seeks to change that. He has filed S.B. 63, which would allow brewers to sell up to a twelve pack of beer to people who come by the brewery. Again, Georgia is only one of five states that prohibits this. In Georgia, a brewery must sell its product to a single wholesale distributor who then resells the beer to restaurants and retail locations. http://www.redstate.com/2015/02/25/the-beer-fight-georgias-casey-cagle-sides-with-crony-capitalists/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
