    you're full of

    Dems aren't "my party"

    Almost every politician has to be corrupt, or they can't win, that's how US political and judicial elections work. 100% corrupt, and incorrigible.

    again, "Is the the GENERAL trend of Dems?" vs the SYSTEMATIC bills, amendments, regulations in the same direction
    So it's not Democrats or Republicans.
    Its the system.

    Then what party or type of people do you back? The writer of this amendment has been described as very liberal, how would you describe yourself?

    And then again tell me why I had to find out about her and you missed this GENERAL Republican behavior? If this had been a a Republican you would have been beside yourself. But it bucked your creed so you completely missed it?
    So who is the Fkn idiot again?

    It's both parties in a corrupted system.

    I don't back either party, there are a few Dems I do agree with.

    I didn't miss ANY Repug behavior. They haven't voted on this bill, yet, but I would be surprised if they vote it down(but they vote down EVERYTHING from the Dems, even stuff, like ACA they used to support 20 years ago)

    you are the ing idiot, again.

    "Sponsored" msg pushing Fair BEER Act:

    5 Points on How the Fair BEER Act Helps Every Brewery in America


    http://talkingpointsmemo.com/fivepoi...+%28TPMNews%29

    hmm, would CO and other legalized mj states push for a "fair MARIJUANA act" instead of punitive taxes?

    I guess it's because MARIJUANA would be too difficult of an acronym

    Craft brewers win in court:

    A group of craft brewers is raising a toast to a state judge's decision to overturn a law that had barred the beer producers from selling their distribution rights for financial gain.

    State District Judge Karin Crump of Austin on Thursday sided with the brewers — including Peticolas Brewing of Dallas and Revolver Brewing of Granbury — in their argument that the 2013 statute was uncons utional by not serving a legitimate public purpose.

    Small government, pro-business Texas legislators still trying to hold down craft breweries for some stupid ing reason. This bill just passed:
    http://keyetv.com/news/local/bill-th...n-texas-senate

    HB 3287 requires breweries to sell their beer to a distributor then buy it back to sell it in the taproom. It applies to breweries who make more than 225,000 barrels of beer per year.

    Local breweries say state lawmakers are hurting the smaller businesses.

    "You basically have to pay a fee or a tax to be able to sell our own beer that we make on premise at our taproom at our own facility. In another industry, you'd call it a shakedown," said Adam Debower, co-owner of Austin Beerworks.

    Texas is currently the only state that does not allow breweries to sell their product to customers on site for off-site consumption.

    Benevolent Texas distributors reach compromise to allow breweries to sell their own product on their own premises. To a point, anyway.

    https://www.guidelive.com/craft-beer...rVSYIqietV6dRk

    On Wednesday, the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, a trade association representing the interests of small brewers, and the Beer Alliance of Texas, which represents the state's distributors, announced a set of bills that would allow breweries to sell beer to patrons for offsite consumption up to a certain limit (576 ounces or 2 cases per day, per person).

    Sen. Dawn Buckingham (R-Lakeway) and Rep. Eddie Rodriguez (D-Austin) had previously introduced companion bills SB 312 and HB 672, respectively, advocating in the breweries' favor. They plan to introduce subs ute bills that include the agreed upon limit soon, according to a statement.

    The Texas House voted Thursday to extend beer and wine sales on Sundays and to let craft breweries sell beer to go.

    Those new expansions of alcohol sales were amendments to a broader bill regarding the efficiency and operations of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission that must pass this legislative session in order to avoid shutting down the agency.

    Trump's aluminum tariffs will hit beer

    Breweries and beer drinkers will also be affected. Tour average beer manufacturer doesn't have the diverse portfolio of packaging options of a Coca-Cola, and those breweries heavily invested in aluminum packaging will have no choice but to raise prices.



    Microbreweries in particular will be hard-hit. These smaller outfits lack the deep pockets of name-brand breweries, and being on the crunchier side of the market, have largely shifted to aluminum over bottles for environmental reasons. They also use tanks, kegs and brewing equipment made of steel, which is also subject to the new tariffs. They will need to raise costs in order to survive.
