MN Running out of (legal) beer, liquor and cigarettes

[bikefoolery]

My sister lives near Harriet Brewing Co. I warned her to go grab a growler before it's mobbed by the thirsty masses

You can go to the brewery and pick up growlers, as long as they produce less than a specified number of barrels each year. There are at least two of those in Minneapolis, so hopefully they will get more business. On the bright side, Miller Coors won't be able to sell here until the state gets its act together.

Or, forgive me for saying this, but, hopefully Miller Coors can throw enough money at our state to solve our budget crisis.

If they don't, AB InBev will be in the same boat come October, according to a story I read. With the two companies throwing money around, this will get fixed. The government won't fix it for local businesses going tits up, but they will for campaign contributors.

Another reason why liberties, such as the production and consumption of alcohol, shouldn't be regulated by the government.

A solution reached two days after MillerCoors was told to pull their beer--a coincidence? I think not. And I'm not alone:

Not to mention our Governor is a recovering alcoholic. I bet his ears perked up when he heard beer was going to start being pulled from the shelves and a few bars had to temporarily shut down because the lack of alcohol.

Good news though, the MN Govt Shutdown finally ended yesterday morning, so things will be back to normal in a few days/weeks.
