This is a grass-roots campaign in Alabama to raise the permissable ABV in Alabama from the current 6% to 14%, much like what Georgia did last year, and what N. Carolina is attempting right now. In addition, their is also a 16 oz cap on beer containers, so those sold in 22 oz bombers or 750 ml bottles are SOL.
I'm sure all Realbeer members in Alabama are aware of freethehops.org, but if not go sign up. Georgia is proof that enough pushing on your legislators can get positive results, and with only 20 or 30 members, Free The Hops can use all the members they can get. Hopefully it won't take the 7 years that it took Georgia.
