Making Sense of 2015 Proposed Beer Legislation
Florida SB 186—64-ounce Growlers [Bill]
What it is: Licensed beer manufacturers and retailers could sell 32-, 64- and 128-ounce containers of beer, as long as they are labeled as such and have an unbroken seal or cannot otherwise be immediately consumed.
What it means: Currently, no one can sell 64-ounce (half-gallon) growlers, a common size requested by consumers. They can either purchase a bigger 128-ounce or two 32-ounce containers, though that’s the same volume as the 64-ounce growler.
“A lot of Northerners want us to sell [a 64-ounce growler], and we can’t,” says Guy Piasecki, owner of Crafted Keg in Stuart, FL, who brought a lawsuit against the state of Florida. “They think because they’re tourists in a tourist town, we’re trying to rip them off because we can only sell them a [32-ounce] grenade or a [128-ounce] gallon. That’s what hurts.”

Very important to add this to your list. Big money distributors, distillers and winemakers are using $ against common sense legislation to support continued growth of Arizonas growing craft beer economy. PLEASE shine some light on the fight to continue the sustained growth and job creation that lobbyists are trying to shutdown in the state of Arizona.
Thank you!
