Folks, we have good reason to believe Riley is making his final decision on our bill today, and we will know the outcome today.
At this point we think he will probably sign it, but we do not know for certain. And whatever happens, we don’t want to be sitting around a week from now lamenting that we didn’t do everything we possibly could to get his signature.
So, we’re asking you to make one more call. (334) 242-7100. Just tell ‘em to please sign HB373 into law. Let’s meltdown the switchboard this morning as he goes into this decisive day. Be sure to call this morning.
We’ll soon know whether or not we’ve succeeded.

Just called. It’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen…
just did my self very easy the guy that answered seemed very nice and not bogged down yet.So we need more people calling tell your friends.
Called again. A 30 second call toward a lifetime of good taste, the least we can do.
Made my call. Let’s bring this home.
DONE!
Did it… took < 20s from first ring to hangin’ up.
Dun
Got some of my friends to call. One doesnt even drink, but felt it was unfair that we were limited on what we could get here.
Keep up the fight!
I called too. Very quick to do and they said they had already had several calls. Free The Hops so I can pop an Old Chub already!
Done.
Called. Keep it up!
The lady answer knows that everyone is calling about HB373. You know that they will be ready for this bill to move on so their switchboard can go back to normal operations.
I will see you at The Nook when we get to have one of these great beers finally in the state of Alabama.

Call volume seems to be picking up. Had to try three times to get through due to a busy signal. Let’s see if we can get it up to having to try at least 5-10 times to get through.
Called. Getting everyone I know to call (again).
The Governor’s office says that it has NOT been signed yet.
The bill has been signed!!!!!!!
WHAT? How do you know?
This is NOT a time for joking. Until Danner or someone with FTH posts otherwise, please keep calling!
what how do you know?
I asked the governors office this morning. And, they indicated that he signed it this morning.
Well I just called and they said just the opposite. Are you a spy?
You gotta back that kind of statement up…
Just called
I have talked with Danner already.
I just called ten minutes ago, and the guy made no mention of it already being signed. Keep calling!
called!
Come on Brian, don’t do that, you’re killing me!!
The governor’s press office confirmed for a fact that the bill was signed this morning.
If this is correct great. But the fact is there has been no official announcement and the governor’s office is not confirming this. Until we get official word we ALL need to assume it has not passed and keep up the pressure. So even if you have it from the governors own mouth, lets not post anything to that effect until we hear from Danner or Stuart.
Just emailed from Chicago!
just called. took about 10 seconds. cheers!
Just called, plus my wife, co-worker, 3 friends, and more…
I went to every person in the office and held them hostage until they called, 35 so far…
Called.
I just called and the governor absolutely HAS NOT signed it.
Just Called. Took maybe 10 seconds and she was extremely friendly. Do it, now.
Agreed, no more than 10 seconds is needed and the lady was really nice. Make the call!
Called and have e-mailed friends to call. Let’s get this done!
Why then, does the governor’s office say it has not been signed?
Stuart has confirmed it, too.
there is a twitter post that says it has passed from fth
confirmed on Twitter…
YES!! We did it!
I’m hearing that the bill has been signed!
According to Riley’s press office, HB373 has been signed into law. Congrats.
Woot!
I wish the press office would stop giving conflicting info.
Woohoo!!
…a single tear drops down my cheek :p
Where and when can we buy Stone, Dog Fish Head, and Bells??????
THe Hops are FREEEEEE! Good work everyone!!!
Hey Walker!
Listen people: Just called the press office at 334-242-7150. They again said he HAS NOT SIGNED HB373
Who has access to the FTH Twitter account, then? This is on the update:
“Press office confirms: Governor has SIGNED HB373!!”
http://twitter.com/freethehops
WTF?!?! This is ridiculous! How are they giving conflicting information??
well the twitter site simply has a post that says it was signed and the author is “the web” I dont know who that is but I would like another confirmation before we rest too much here.
But if it is true, I will see you all at the J Clyde in little while
@ D Bag
You have to talk to the correct person in the office.
I just called the Press office as well at 242 7150. She told me that it has NOT been signed, and that when it is it will be posted on their website
