Hard to believe there are still places that ban home brewing.
Savages....

"John Tipton's Chocolate Porter," he announces. It's a dark brown beer, almost black, with a taste that starts out astringent, like cheap red wine, then mellows into a silky chocolate flavor, with fleeting notes of coffee and cinnamon. The flavor notes begin to mellow after the second pitcher.

How do you tell a Baptist from a Lutheran?
The Lutheran will speak to you in the Liquor Store.

Vote for statists, get statism. I have no sympathy for those who want freedom to produce and consume their drug of choice but still want to toss people in jail for having a pot plant. And no, I don’t smoke pot. And yes, I do drink beer.

My chocolate porter starts smooth as silk, and finishes smooth as silk. The secrets? 1/2 lb of oatmeal in the mash and 3/4 lb Van Houten Cocoa Powder in the fermenter 1/2 lb of lactose when you bottle.

Sounds like the So-cons and brainless fundamentalist theocrats to me.
How do these idiots who misunderstand the Establishment Clause differ from the Taliban?

That’s OK. Most homebrew tastes like crap. Still should be legal though.

West bound and down, eighteen wheels are rollin’ ,
we’re gonna do what they say can’t be done.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I’m west bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run.
Keep your foot hard on the pedal. Son, never mind them brakes.
Let it all hang out ‘cause we got a run to make.
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there’s beer in Texarcana.
And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes.

My homebrews certainly don’t taste like crap. Better than just about anything short of Samuel Smith’s

“That’s raised the ire of Southern Baptists, who frown on alcohol in any form. As they jockey for advantage in the Legislature, one side quotes Scripture.”
Ah, the Righteous Right, willingly using the same government force as the looney left. Just pushing different morals. The reasons for McCain are becoming clearer every day!

Whether you agree with the Alabama laws on home brew, let me ask those on this thread who are waxing about "big government" and so forth.
Would you prefer there be a federal law that overrides this state law?

Bama ping.
Ya know, this fight has been going on for years. It looks like it is getting closer this time. The “Free the Hops” crowd has it right, these brews do not appeal to yoots or to those who simply drink to get drunk.
Expanding the market is always a good thing, particularly for a legal product.

And in Colorado, lawmakers have considered rescinding a law that bans supermarkets (but not liquor stores) from selling wine with more than 3.2% alcohol content. What kind of wine would only have a 3.2% alcohol content?
