Sully will like yesterday's cover story in the weekly issue of the Maui Time

The owner of Maui Brewing has also "hopped" on the "canned-wagon" and is also educating others that good beer can come in the can. Look a few pages down for the can sidebar.

Hard copy will be mailed to the Rat Pad tomorrow. I'd mail it to Sully direct, but can't find the address to the 21A. I think it is in the City.

Schalfly had a repeal week celebration earlier this year that they were getting ready for in April - not sure why they are different dates than Sully's - maybe when it was first proposed vs. when finally ratified? Google search would tell me, but I'm being lazy.

at 5:50 in the morning KCBS had mentioned the 21A and the parade that they were sponsoring. Funny how they were mentioned as a bar and not a brewery. no mention of cans as well.

Look's like Schlafly was celebrating Roosevelt's request and Sully is celebrating when enough states signed off to complete final ratification.

Interesting flyer I saw at Schlafly last March as they were getting ready for their party in April:

Now if we could repeal the three-tier distribution system that this act created and still prohibit "tied houses", if that is possible, would that encorage a more free flow of beer and more choices and more profit and/or lower consumer cost to the craftbrewer that can excell at selling direct?

Those that don't want to bother selling direct can still use distibutors if they wish, especially as they go further from the brewery, but they would not be forced to so as the current system does. Instead of tied houses there appears to be tied distributors, and aren't they essentially the same thing with an added middleman?

States had different dates for the end of Prohibition. In Texas it was March of 1933. The brew pub here did their 75th anniversary party earlier this year.

They probably celebrated the modification of the Volstead Act which allowed beer to be sold once again. The modification changed the allowed alcohol percentage of a beverage from .05 to 3.2 allowing beer to be served once again.
