[clowe]

Brew On

 

[FeuerHazard]

It seemed to have passed, with maybe the license fee... though that last bit happened quite fast so I am probably wrong

 

[Zamial]

CONGRATS! (I think....)

 

[1stTimer]

It was that close? That's sad. What's it look like the senate will do? Anyone have any information on that?

 

[landshark]

Congratulations!!!! all you ex-illegal Alabama brewers!!

Does it have to pass the senate now? or is that it?

 

[aubiecat]

WOOYEAH! Good work and good luck in the Senate!

It has already passed the senate.

 

[PIGMAN]

Congrats folks, about time. I've been following this like a sporting event.

 

[dford]

It passsed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck yeah! With everything I was reading here, I thought they were going to filibuster until the bill died.

 

[GoldMiner]

But what about the killin' ?

Congrats!

They voted to table that amendment and then immediately took a vote on the bill itself.

So it passed the senate already? Outstanding. Now Alabama is going to explode. Those crazy guys were right. Wait for it. Wait for it.

Okay, that sounds right, I knew I missed something.

 

[landshark]

Are people having a drunken orgy in the streets now because of the evils of alcohol?

 

[1stTimer]

Wow. Can't believe that took up that much of my day

 

[CGVT]

I had to turn it off for a while...is it true?

It passed with no amendments?

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Well then, CONGRATS!!!

 

[TheEndlessObsession]

Oh heck yeah! I didn't know they were good to go now. Get brewing (legally!)

 

[Kingfish]

Not so fast. Still has to go to the governor.

 

[aubiecat]

OK I was wrong about the senate. We still have to go through committee and then the senate. Somebody knock me out and wake me up after it's over. I don't think I can do that again.

 

[uglysofa]

Still has to make it through the senate but it passed the senate last year. The big hold up was the house so this is a major victory.

This is an easier bill to pass than the one that made it through last year too.

BUT Wow that was embarrassing going through house of reprobates.

 

[TarVolon]

It really passed? 'Grats, guys!

 

[CGVT]

Although my representative may not be much better, I am glad that I am not represented by Bridges, Laird or Wallace.

Especially Wallace.

What a bunch of narrow minded, backward ass, b*&tards.

 

[aubiecat]

I'm not as worried about the senate as I am the guvnah. I don't have a clue where he falls on this.

 

[1stTimer]

Laird is an ass. I sent him a very polite email asking him to do a bit more research into home brewing. His response "You do your research. Its debate 101." God you have to love crazy people.

They are trash. It's people like them that keep Alabama from making any logical progress in this world. Sometimes I feel like George Wallace is still standing in front of the university of Alabama and Bull Conner is still hosing everybody down the street.

 

[homebrewdad]

Holy crap, I cannot believe that it passed!!!

 

[aubiecat]

I emailed him and told him to stop embarrassing the state that millions of people were listening to them and he replied.

"You get elected then YOU can embarrass our state. DO IT."
