One legislator read a poem he'd written about homebrew.  Another one broke the law and brought a bottle of homebrew to toast with!

Awesome!  When we got our bill signed the Governor wanted to know why we hadn't brought her any homebrew.  We explained that would have been illegal . . . and then she said "so if someone in the office brought in homemade wine as gifts?" and she glanced at a guy in the corner who had a grin on his face.  :)

Glad we could help.  I was talking to an OR guy this weekend, the bill has an emergency clause so it takes effect right away, right?  Good news for the NHC First Round. :)

He also said it was so liberal you can sell your homebrew if you "need to", and everyone in OR is going to be required to have homebrewing gear in case of emergency. ;D

Yep, it's an emergency!

I hope he was joking....that particular issue was tough enough to reassure legislators about.

I'd like to recognize Greg Bolt, Chris Hummert, Ted Hausotter, and Denny Conn who created the Oregon Home Brewers Alliance and spearheaded the OHBA's effort to get the Oregon homebrew law changed.  I've been truly impressed by their tireless efforts dedicated to pushing Senate Bill 444 through the legislature.  It's been a real honor for me to work with these guys on this campaign.

Up next: Alabama should have a bill to legalize homebrewing filed in the very near future.  I am optimistic about that bill's chances for success this year.

Denny, good work.  Glad to see it is done, well except for the last signature.  Do you get a pen from the signing?

Seriously, this shows that the system can be made to work.  Glad to see the OR homebrewers can enter the Nationals.

I had best go keg those beers I brewed for the Nationals.

Here's my question. If the governor asked you for a wheat beer to celebrate, what would you do?

That's really cool!

You should give him a sample of your Rye IPA...or your VBIP.  :)
