Mississippi Legalizes Homebrewing
Hoist a cold one to celebrate
The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) is pleased to announce that Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant has signed a bill that will effectively legalize homebrewing throughout the state. Mississippi is now the 49th state to permit homebrewing. A Senate version of the bill passed in early February and it was then voted on by the State House of Representatives in March.
"From our founding fathers to our current President, this country has a long and storied tradition of homebrewing," said Gary Glass, director of the American Homebrewers Association. "We appreciate the support of all of the homebrewers, the dedicated grassroots efforts of Raise Your Pints and the legislators who have worked so diligently to make homebrewing a reality in Mississippi. We are grateful to Senator John Horhn who introduced this bill and to Governor Bryant for his quick action and support."

I think Mississippi lost the War on Homebrewing a few decades back.
