We're Last but Legal

Alabama's Gov. Bentley signed into law late tonight the Right to Brew Bill (or HB9). The bill actually ratified Amendment 621 of the State of Alabama Constitution of 1901 (the largest state constitution in the US.). So prohibition finally ends in all states under all cases with regards to the Eighteenth Amendment (1920-1933). Yeah it's true in the South I guess we don't get in a hurry. Basically I can brew, blog about it, share it, with just a few stipulations. Only 15 gallons may be brewed per HOUSEHOLD per quarter of calendar year, self consumption or sharing, transport of no more than 10 gallons for any state competition licensed through the ABC, and of course no distillations! Not to be confused with "No disintegration."
