One brewer claims shutdown will cost him $8,000 a month
As the US government shutdown enters its ninth day the closure is threatening to leave America’s craft brewers nursing a serious hangover. While stores across the country will continue to stock a range of beers and ales on their shelves, the shutdown has closed an obscure agency, which quietly approves new breweries, recipes and labels.

Proving that we don’t need government licensing of craft brewers.
I agree. My Grandfather always told me that "drinking beer is like any other sport....You have to be in shape for it!"

Just brew anyway. Sheesh. Doesn’t anyone get tired of waiting around for lazy bureaucrats to do something?

I am still waiting for these communist scum in Washington to figure out they can shut down every federal highway.
