Value proposition of Homebrewcon

I live in the most draconian state in the union when it comes to alcohol laws. Yet, we served beer for a fund raiser in a public space between two commercial breweries while they were serving in their brewpubs. First time I ever saw the two most popular HomeBrew clubs in the area at the same event. There were plenty of independent home brewers serving as well. I’ve been hearing that same BS line about “not being able to serve HomeBrew in the South so you can’t have HBC there” for a decade.  It’s just a myth.  We have an annual brew fest at the convention center right downtown.  It can be done.

No, it’s not a myth. Obviously a different situation.

Denny, I owe you an apology.

This subject came up at the HomeBrew club meeting last night. While there is no doubt that serving HomeBrew alongside commercial beer to the public, on public land has/is happening, the club lawyer (we have a guy) said this is illegal.

I’ve been to brewfests and I have served beer intermingled with commercial sales.

People find ways to make it happen – Auburn Oktoberfest for example – but the language in the law sure could be improved.

This was the opinion: the language has to be rewritten to make a HomeBrew Fest on public land serving the public legal. However, if HomeBrew is served on private property to a private group it is OK. Which is why we can share beer at the HomeBrew club meeting.

Again, I was an @$$ and was wrong. Therefore, I apologize. I stand corrected.

One day, you’ll wake up and there won’t be anymore time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t wait. Do it now.
