    What was the law that prevented them from selling before?

    According to their facebook page, no take home, though. On premise consumption only.

    I believe it has something to do with keeping producers, distributors and vendors separate.

    yeah, 3 tier system. Great documentary about this and the way that the large beer companies use the system to their benefit and how hard it is for independent breweries to survive called Beer Wars. I watched it a while ago, but it's probably still on netflix. This is very exciting for the beer industry in Texas

    Similar laws in GA.

    Hope they get faster. That took entirely too long.

    The dude didn't tip. The first beer ever bought and the guy kept his 2 dollars in change while being recorded.

    What about the previous micro-brews like The Bank Draft? Were they exempt because they didn't ship any beer off premises?

    Something like that. I don't know much about it. I was just at Saint Arnolds on the tour asking about it. I wasn't the brightest student at the time, if you catch my drift.

    They aren't a bar and those aren't bartenders . I never tipped them when I paid in tokens either.

    I woudnt mind paying 8 or 10 for a bomber of bishop barrel, many reasons why karbauch continues to impress, and st arnolds continues to cater to the casual beer drinker.

    That seems cheap to me now. I was just at Peter Island, the private island in the British Virgin Islands. After a 14 hour trip we got there at 10:30 pm and I ordered 6 beers and 5 waters for the room.

    Cost- $98.00. :confused:

    So you were at a brewery and they served you the beer that they made there, with no shipping costs!?!?? :p Amazing.

    (Yeah, NO, not the same thing. I probably will pay LESS for a U.S. beer in México)

    STILL expensive.
