I would love to haze you guys about how the south sucks and this is what you get...but this crap really pisses me off. In New York keg deposit legislation makes kegging and distributing cost prohibitive all but the biggest breweries. Legal regulations will not allow a liquor store to sell ice or mixers. Wineries cannot sell beer, so on and so on...it's all crazy. This is knee jerk legislation to try and mitigate social problems with regulation. Its backwards and the kind of thinking that influenced prohibition. Fight the power guys! Even if your beer sucks...keep fighting. “Under a new set of proposed rules being unveiled this week, visitors to Georgia’s microbreweries may soon be limited to 24 ounces of beer, roughly half of the self-imposed amount brewers poured.”
