Yes I am for now.
quite the conundrum for sure.

Been brewing for 8 months now, and just lurk around here learning all I can, but I am from Picayune MS, and didnt know its was illegal here. I get all my stuff online and from NO and until seeing this was telling everybody it is legal didnt think about state laws. What do we have to do now to get it back to a vote? anyone know
i also live in a dry county, but i still keep beer at the house. i don't really think it's any different than speeding or not wearing a seat belt. how do i get past the ethics of it? i just don't enforce laws that i might also violate. i'm not going to write someone a ticket for doing 10 over the speed limit when i do i might occasionally do it as well. similarly, i'm not going to arrest anyone for drinking beer in a dry county when i do it as well, quite regularly actually. i guess some people would look at that as not really doing my job, but i think of it as being equitable and fair. i'd rather be fair in selectively enforcing laws than unfair in absolutely enforcing them.
NO. making wine is legal, but brewing beer is illegal. since it's illegal, there are no retail stores for buying grain, hops, etc. we have to order our **** from out of state in order to brew.
and as to why live here, i am with deepsouth. i don't think i could leave my family behind and i know my wife wouldn't leave her family. i guess that sense of belonging and cohesion is one of the positive things about living here. now, if i had the money, i would pay to move all my family somewhere else.
did you know we have a homebrew club on the coast? would you be interested?
Yea i would be interested, would be nice to actually talk to people, and do the club thing. How do i get involved?
Sorry to hear both bills died in committee, but being from Alabama and and seeing this happen to us every year, I fell your pain. so far we have had 3 bills introduced, SB153, the Homebrewing bill is still in the Tourism and travel committee, and SB328, Brewery modernization act has come out of committe and were waiting on the house version HB406 to do the same thing.
who knows? maybe this year, maybe not..........
Did the committee offer any justification as to deny you the right to brew your own beer?
Why is it illegal to homebrew in Mississippi? I thought Jimmy Carter legalized it for everyone in 1979.
yeah, what the hell, Mississippi? Get with the freakin program.
Counties can override the Feds, except where illegal aliens are concerned.
I don't understand the concept of dry counties (or Parishes).
Just like St. Tammany parish "voted" to abolish video poker - guess what dickheads, you just lost revenue, and whoever wants to do it, goes to another parish.
Good idea for alcohol too - make some drunk drive to another county to get blitzed, then drive back home - real fekin great idea.

I'm not trying to pile on here, i'm just sayin..........from what you guys are describing, Mississippi sounds terrible.
Daybis said:I moved here from California. I wasn't old enough to drink then, but moving here was a bit of a culture shock. Almost like traveling back in time in some ways. However, I got use to living here, received a great education from MSU, met my wife, and met some awesome people. Living here has it's moments and it does suck sometimes, but the most part, I kind of like it here. Now only if they would change their dang beer laws!
