Status: Not Statutorily Recognized

Statute

Mississippi statute §67-3-11 provides for the home production of wine. Currently no such provision exists for the home manufacture of beer.

Discussion

Individuals interested in having beer statutorily recognized in Mississippi should seek to have §67-3-11 amended to include the term "beer" or "malt beverage". Two recent attempts to allow the home production of beer have failed. See 1995 MS S.B. 2097 & 1995 MS H.B. 398.
