    Pliny in Philly?

    It's a little late in the game for Elder ('cept for a couple straggler special event kegs) and all the Younger has been consumed...the Pope was the last place listed to be pouring it...give 'em a call http://www.pubonpassyunkeast.com/beer.html

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    I suspect that based on correspondence I've had with one of my State Reps, the hearings will at the least touch on the raids and the effectiveness of the current process. We'll see.

    10% of that 18% is the "temporary" Johnstown Flood tax ...course that flood was in 1936

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    No...those "places" scrambling are breweries or master distributors (think wholesaler point of entry to the state) registering their brands so that tier 2 and 3 can continue to sell their product wholesale and retail, not the operators/owner of the retail part of this picture.

    OLD homebrew found...should I drink it?

    Hell yes...if it tastes good, drink it!

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    What does the fact that agents confiscated brands that were on the list due to confusion over label specifics tell you as it relates to your question above? Just take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with how the PLCB can been as convoluted and unreliable as possible by skimming some of the...

    What kind of plastic are vials made out of?

    Send them back for "yeast points" ;) http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/homebrew_customerclub.html

    Netflyer if you go back and read the blogs about the registration process and list previously linked, you'll see that many of the assumptions you have about how it works, its accuracy & where the responsibility for validating registration aren't the case here.

    When did you stop counting?

    Same here...never started counting so I have no idea how many batches have been brewed over the last decade plus of homebrew. The first handful of years were pretty sporadic but the last several have made up for it :)

    Lew has an interesting piece on the purpose of brand registration: http://noplcb.blogspot.com/2010/03/why-does-beer-brand-registration-exist.html Joe 6pk has a nice piece on the pointless of the list for legal identification: http://joesixpack.net/blog/archives/602 The LOLZ just keep...

    Brewing up a Kolsch, yeast question

    Your homebrew store doesn't carry White Labs or Wyeast? Both offer a Kolsch strain. Wlp029 & Wy 2565 respectively.

    That's how I took it... as a tongue in cheek comment. Jack Curtain is blogging that there's also been a visit to Stockertown: http://jackcurtin.com/ldo/?p=1505 Lew Bryson recently posted the hearings have been scheduled for April 13th.

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    FWIW, the function of registration is that it's one part of the overall tax process on beer breweries that manufacture, distribute and sell in PA....I don't believe there is any intention to establish any legitimacy. TTB takes care of that part. http://www.ttb.gov/

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    Yes..IIRC, beers produced and sold on premise by brew pubs are not covered by the registered brands code. However, if IHB were to distribute their beers in the state, they would need to register the brands and all that fun. It's all about beers distributed for sale & it is the responsibility...

    Philly Beer Bar Raided....

    http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/87198127.html I contacted my state reps as well and Marguerite Quinn responded with some interesting information including the petition for hearings on the matter. I'd definitely have to register my disagreement with Folmer if he was representing me.

    "had some rare ****" ;) Either way, it sounds like hearings on the registered brands issue and the raids are being scheduled in the House and Senate comities.

    Raiding Origlio? Talk about chasing down a bad decision Every resident of PA should contact their state legislators: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/find.cfm and contact the PALCB and tell them how proud of your home state you are...
