In a conversation with a local BATF agent I was told that in his opinion Home brew can only be consumed in the home in which it was brewed and anything else is a violation of federal law. He also said he was more concerned about the T and F portions of his agency and probably would never do anything about the A.
Who on here is acutally intimidated by having a homebrew competition in Oregon, how about tonight? A raid on your competition? Is there going to be a SWAT team smashing all your bottles?
Are you guys seriously worried about it? Im not trying to be a dick, but if I want to transport a case of brews I made to my friends house 2 hours away, I am sure as hell not going to let an unenforced law get in my way. I could give two ****s if I violate federal law in that manner. Its a ridiculous law to begin with.
And I would like to see what penalties there would be for such a small amount of beer. I could understand more if a restaurant proprietor was selling my kegged homebrew in his bar. That makes sense. Serving it to friends for free...no one's going to stop me from doing that, I got news for you.
Either way it was just some ******* little snitch that had to get their noses in other peoples buisness. Competiton at a STATE FAIR had been going on for 22 years and only now it was noticed that it was illegal? Please....LOL a homebrewer must have pissed off one of the board members. I hope they overturn it for everyone's sake so other states don't catch on and worry everyone.
