Sweet! Always could buy a growler just a 32 or 128 oz not a 64. Now you can buy all 3 sizes however a brewery now has restrictions on how much they can sell on site before having to sell it to a distributor, have it sit (and die) in a warehouse, and be shipped back to the brewery to sell.

Forcing people to sell to a middle man is purely a result of corruption. It raises all consumers costs. Only the middle man benefits. It's outrageous.

Yea, I know. But I WILL continue to fight against them. Fight the good fight, man! Any word on when / if the House will take up the bill? TALLAHASSEE — A legislative effort to regulate Florida’s craft beer industry passed the Senate Tuesday – and is likely dead on arrival once it gets to the House. Rep. Dana Young, a Tampa Republican and deputy leader of the chamber’s controlling party, has been a fiercely loyal friend to Florida’s craft brewers. She said procedural hurdles will almost certainly keep the measure off the House floor between now and the end of the yearly legislative session on Friday. The bill (SB 1714) doesn’t have a House companion, Young noted, “and I don’t see a way around that.†Young also said she had worked for six hours on Sunday, revising the bill for its sponsor, Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland. “She asked for my help, agreed to every suggestion, and then ignored 95 percent of what I suggested,†Young said. http://tbo.com/news/politics/craft-beer-bill-passed-by-florida-senate-20140429/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
