There were a number of us who to ask to have the sample restriction removed. When it was introduced, there was a thought that sampling wasn’t allowed because nothing was written. Glad to see that it’s still gone.

Re Belgian-style brewery… So he’s no longer keeping it a secret? I told him I wouldn’t say anything until he was ready to share.

Yes, the sample restriction was taken out of the bill pretty early on in the process.

And re: the brew pubs offering 750s, the law was originally introduced for a guy up on the North Shore who’s building a Belgian syle brewery. More on this and the whole liquor bill in the next edition of TC Imbiber, due out probably in Sept.

Does anyone know if any of the brewpubs have plans to do some releases of their beers in the 750ml bottles?

I heard that every stand that sells beer has to have at least one MN brew on hand. Thats a cool deal. I would guess Summit would dominate that, but i would be at the fair a hell of a lot more if they had Surly.

I find the last couple of lines the most interesting. It looks like someone wants to start a bar on my doorstep, practically across the street from Metro State Saint Paul.
