Alabama governor signs gourmet bottle bill, homebrew bill likely off the table?
Gov. Robert Bentley has signed a bill on Wednesday to almost double the size of bottles beer can be sold in. Previously beer could only be sold in containers up to 16 ounces. Beer can now be sold in bottles up to nearly 26 ounces under the new law.
This takes effect on August 1st per Free the Hops. As of 2:15pm EST, Free the Hops hasn’t said anything about a Senate vote for the homebrew bill so I think it’s safe to assume that it’s dead for this session. Today is the last day that the Senate can vote on it.
