I want my first post in a while to be about something important. Thank God, Red Oak Brewery has given me just the fodder I need. Apparently, North Carolina breweries that produce 25K barrels a year have to turn over distribution to the NC Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association. How ironic. A state that’s usually hell-bent on stamping out big government wants to keep brewing corporations from becoming too big and give over control to state government!!? By their own admission, this legislation stems back to the prohibitionists’ efforts to control alcohol consumption in the states (good job the first time). Thank God, Guilford County Representative, Gladys A. Robinson, has sponsored a bill to increase small brewery limits that would let Red Oak Brewery maintain control over the distribution of their beer. This is important, people! Send Rep. Robinson an email letting her know that Guilford County residents mean business when it comes to small government and beer. (Well actually, just focus on the beer.)
It’s Wrong!
