Louisiana Brewers Need your Help!
« on: April 13, 2018, 12:50:27 pm »
We urgently need everyone’s help.

There is a bill – SB314 that is being heard in the Judiciary B Committee in the Louisiana Senate. Though it is a Louisiana wineries bill, there is an amendment attached that allows Louisiana’s craft breweries some self-distribution. The Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild has been working non-stop the last few weeks to get this amendment attached to this bill. The 30 plus brewing members of the Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild would appreciate if you would email one of the committee members today, tomorrow, and throughout the weekend in support of SB314 and the Louisiana brewery amendment. Thanks y’all!

Senator Gary Smith (Chairman) smithgl@legis.la.gov
Senator Ronnie Johns (Vice-Chairman) johnsr@legis.la.gov
Senator Norbèrt N. "Norby" Chabert chabertn@legis.la.gov
Senator Eric LaFleur lafleure@legis.la.gov
Senator Jean-Paul J. Morrell morrelljp@legis.la.gov
Senator Karen Carter Peterson petersonk@legis.la.gov
Senator Gregory Tarver tarverg@legis.la.gov

Please email them and tell them you "support beer that is brewed in Louisiana and Senator Hewitt's SB314 Louisiana Winery Bill (along with the brewery amendment), and I would like to see it make it's way out of Judiciary Committee B. Thank you"

Jerm, by everyone, I presume you mean everyone who is a Louisiana resident.  State legislators don't care much about what non-constituents think and probably would have a negative reaction if they are getting a bunch of contacts from out of state. 

Sounds like something Louisiana homebrewers should support.  We're checking with the Brewers Association government affairs staff to see if the Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild wants us to send an alert to our Louisiana members.
