Just Found out how much Mississippi and Alabama Suck

Apparently it is still illegal to home brew beer in those two states. Only recently did they legalize the sale of high gravity (alcohol content) beers and beers sold in 22oz. bottles.

Seriously people? WTF?

She's from Alabama

well.. mississippi only just ratified the 13th amendment.. so give them some time

I found out my hometown (in MS) is finally going wet.

Really? You're just now figuring that out?

LOL

I'm guessing it was probably the same law that prevents home distilling of liquor.....if thats the case, it'll never get changed.

I'll get you beer baron!

(nooo youuu wonnnt!)

Yes, I will..

(do'h!)

I'm sure that hasn't stopped people from doing it in the past. Just don't broadcast it to the world on facebooks. I have enjoyed my time in Mississippi. Alabama; however, sucks.

I've heard that as well, what funny is Homebrew stores exist in those states.

The ingredients / materials are legal to sell, but the actual act of fermenting is not.

Srsly. Whatever it is, it looks pretty burly and inbred, so no shockers there.

And seriously, Alabama should change there tags to read: "Alabama. Because Georia's too 'progressive'"

Or "Alabama. The only place people from Georgia can rightfully make fun of."

They're working on homebrew legislation, and they've honestly got better things to enforce.

...and the land of the free

Like makin sure the coloreds don't set at the counter, and "Adult Education" (teaching 40 year olds it's not cool to stick it in your 14 year old cousin?")

I joke. I keed.

Looks like she was home brewed in the family.

I like living in Alabama. And they don't enforce the home brewing laws. I know lots of people who home brew and there are stores here in Huntsville that sell home brewing supplies. Here in Huntsville we have 4 breweries. Three of which are pretty good.

Sounds like you have never been through Virginia, holy E36 M3

I've been gone from AL for 25+ years, but there were dry counties in the NE corner. A lot of moonshining went on there.

I'm pretty sure a lot of dry counties are dry, not because "alcohol is a sin", but because the local shiners, who also happen to be the city council, doesn't want the competition.

personally, as a non-drinker. I find alcohol to be overrated anyway

Me too. But when boss man and I used to check into the Holiday Inn in Scottsboro, you never wanted a beer so bad. It was a 17 mile trip to the store on the county line and guess how jacked up the price was?

And Sela Ward is anything but burly.
