The House and Senate both agreed by wide margins Monday in favor of allowing a brewery to sell retail malt beverages made at the brewery or an out-of-state location by the same brewery permit holder.
I was there. The only discussion before the vote was a question from a Democrat: "Are there any reciprocal agreements in other states for our brewers to go there & sell their products?"
Mr. Moffitt: "I'm not aware of any."
I was sitting in the gallery to watch the override vote on the Energy bill (which didn't happen because too many Democrats showed up.) I had a good time joking around with the oil company lobbyists sitting next to me (who introduced themselves by first saying, "We're not frackers"). I was probably the only guy in the room without a tie, so these guys asked what to them was the obvious question - "Are you a brewer?"
