Friends:

After years in the making, we finally have a bill in the Alabama
Senate that would legalize homebrewing in Alabama, permit tastings to
be held, and permit competition organizers to charge a fee for
competition entries…. all without taxation or licensure requirements.

There are also bills in the House and Senate which would allow beer
to be sold in Alabama with an ABV of up to 13.9%.

The text of HB196, SB116, SB355 are all posted at the links below:

EVERYONE PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATOR ABOUT THESE BILLS !!!!!

Please forward this email to anyone you know who would support this cause!

Also, it would be very helpful if you’d let me know if you get a
response from your rep and senator, so their position can be
centrally logged with Free the Hops.

Thanks for your help, and I look forward to see you all again soon.
