Brickbat: I Like Beer
Just hours before the planned opening of Hop City Craft Beer and Wine in Birmingham, agents from the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board raided the store, seizing $7,000 of home brewing equipment and instructional books. It's illegal to home brew beer in Alabama, but store owner Kraig Torrres said he believes it is legal to sell home brewing equipment. The control board obviously disagrees.

I'm thinking it's a safe bet that the ABC board is controlled by distributors in the great state of Alabama.

Heh, at some point in my life I had dated so many women that nearly every woman I saw reminded me of one I had seen before. Looks wise and personality wise, in various combinations.

Hopefully the state boys can sell off that equipment to buy a new battering ram before some liberal judge decides to interpret that the home brewing law is lacking clarification on equipment sales.

its home brewing paraphernalia, surprised they didn't seize the stores cash and the guy's truck (as the transporting device)

Everyone in Alabama can sleep safely now knowing that their neighbors aren't on a home-brewed rape a killing spree.
