Most of us would probably agree with you that there are many other things to support, but since much other legislation has already failed (the food tax removal, extending unemployment benefits, etc), we are rallying behind this. This isn’t just about “marginally increasing” beer alcohol content. This is about our rights. It’s also going to increase support for AMERICAN-MADE BEER that is made in great large American cities & small American towns by hard-working American workers. That in itself is reason to support the bill—it supports American jobs and an increased presence in the Alabama market for these companies.

So, go ride your high horse elsewhere and let these fine FTH folks continue to support something they’ve worked extremely hard to get this far.

SIGN, RILEY, SIGN!!!!!

In a nutshell, it sounds cool, it directly relates to beer, and FTH is about more than just ABV anyway. Assuming this battle gets wrapped up, there are plenty of beer-related issues that need to be tackled.

Plus, “Free the Malt” doesn’t make it beer-specific and in the public mind it sounds too much like malt liquor.
