General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Oregon cancels homebrew contest at the State Fair?????????
« on: June 30, 2010, 05:28:41 AM »In some respects it may be a good thing that it is cancelled. It brings the issue to the legislature so that the law can be improved and (hopefully) less restrictive. Otherwise the law lingers and when someone wants to enforce it out of malice or just trying to be a busy body, you are hosed. Hopefully next year all is well. I do still miss Oregon.
Like some of those crazy old laws that say something like, "it is illegal to share a beer with a woman who is not your wife after 6pm on Tuesdays in years that end with a 0 or 5" I joke but there are some of these laws on the books that people forgot about, but technically they are still laws.
Good luck to OR in getting this straightened out.

Mine is a course rope from Lowes.

I'll try to post a picture when I get home tonight.
Finally remembered to take pictures. Trying to RDWHAHB, but I wish they were higher by now.

They did have one in Manchester, NH years ago, but there's a snowball' chance in hell of that happening again. Boston would be a challenge. First the local clubs would need to do a lot of work to put a bid together. Also, June is a pretty busy time in Boston so hotel prices would be pretty high. And Massachusetts ( as well as NH ) have some strict laws on alcohol.
Burlington, VT would be nice in June, but again I don't know if there's the capacity to handle something this big. Portland, ME would be awesome ( great beer city ), but summertime in Maine is huge $$$.
I think our best bet will be Philly for something getting close to us in NE.

Boy, the Pacific NW is sure taking a beating lately. Two pointless cases of trademark infringement, and one from another craft beer company which shocks me.
