Hi,
I was talking with some friends from out of state about how one can legally make wine for their personal use here in Mississippi but not beer. Sounds sort of off so I started Google-searching and found this article from The Deer Creek Pilot about the Lazy Magnolia Brewery in Kiln, Mississippi. Associate Editor Natalie Perkins writes that Matt McKiernan, the companys marketing director says, There is a longstanding belief that you cant legally run a brewery in Mississippi, but they [the lawyers they were working with?] read the law themselves, and its just not there. She goes on to say that the keys not the brewing. Its the selling . . . .
So what is the story here? I carefully looked over the Mississippi Codes concerning alcohol and there is indeed nothing THAT I COULD FIND stating that I cannot brew beer in my Mississippi home for my personal use.
Anyone care to comment?
Thanks,
Bill
