Sign my petition: Remove the 12% ABV cap on beer in Ohio

Hello,

My petition is to remove the 12% ABV cap on beer in Ohio. You can find it here:

http://www.change.org/petitions/the-state-of-ohio-redefine-the-definition-of-beer-no-longer-put-a-cap-on-abv-2

Today, Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati all have a large population of home brewers and craft beer fans who
need to leave the state in order to find beer that we can't get in Ohio because of the 12% ABV cap on beer.

We do not believe this is about "getting drunk", it's more about experiencing good craft beer. I firmly believe that we need to find beer in our own state instead of stimulating the economies and increasing the tax revenue of other states.

At the time of this writing I have 464 signatures within only two days of the petition being published with new signatures every couple minutes. If you believe in this cause, would you please pass this around to the members of your home brew club and to family and friends elsewhere?

Thank you so much,

Chris

denny:
I assume only people from Ohio should sign.

topher.bartos:
Should. But, not necessary. There have been people signing from California, Massachusetts, Colorado, etc.

Strength in numbers!!

nateo:
So, is the petition to remove or change the law, or just 'we feel like someone should do something at some point' ?

topher.bartos:
It's a petition to change the law. 12% is absolutely arbitrary and should be changed to something more reasonable.

I can buy a Flying Dog Double Dog at 11.5% in the state of Ohio but I can't buy a Great Divide Barrel Aged Yeti because it's 12.2%...

It's a ridiculous law.
