Looks like hell has frozen, after all. At least hell has gotten as cool as a nice tall pint of speciality beer. The Pop The Cap initiave to bring high-alcohol speciality beers to North Carolina has gotten the bill through both legislatures. If the Gov has no objections, it will become law August 13th, or sooner.
The usual government-is-your-mommy crowd spoke up against the bill. New Government Mommies are Triangle representatives Fred Smith and former Raleigh city councilman Neal Hunt. Anyone arguing that teens wanting a buzz will somehow want to pay $6 a beer instead of drinking a 50 cent Beast is seriously fooling themselves.
Help top this one off by letting the governor know you want your high-end beer now!
Here’s to us!
