A Can of Worms...

Lawmakers in Oregon opened up a can of worms recently by deciding that home-brewed beer (or homemade wine) needs to be consumed in the home it was brewed in. (Check out this article to learn more) Therefore, home brewing competitions, events, tastings, and even sharing your beer with friends is apparently against the law. This also puts a bit of a damper on our church's yearly Oktoberfest - always flowing with homemade beer! After brewing gallons of beer for this event, it looks like we will have to find another way to share it!

If anyone approaches  you with a petition to sign that will retract these regulations - please sign it! We love sharing our beer!!
