The Brewery Modernization Act just passed the Senate in the most routine vote a Free the Hops bill has probably ever received. The Budget Isolation Resolution was passed using a “previous roll,” which means everyone just agreed to let it pass without a real vote. The substitute was adopted in similar fashion.
They took a full vote for final passage, but there was very little debate or discussion. The bill passed with 13 yes votes, 7 no votes, and 1 abstain. Once the information is available, we will update Lobbysoft so you can see how your senator voted.
This is a very exciting development! Once we pass the House, the bill goes to the Governor. I will have more updates later.

It was so cool hearing the senate finally go through bills at a lightning pace for once.
This is huge.. I mean, huge huge
Excellent…
This is great news!
Anyone know any news on the homebrewing bill?
Yeah. It’s dead.
Does the illegality of homebrewing have any practical effect on those of us who do it? There are still homebrew stores.
