You poor goddam things. This is the most archaic goddam state in the country regarding beer. The 3 tier system in this state ****s it’s citizens six ways from Saturday. Family run distributors. Boo hoo. Other states make it by just fine. A few companies/distributors crying foul when every beer lover out there stands to benefit from the change.
