The long, Floridian growler nightmare is over. Fill up, everyone (when legally appropriate).
Florida brewers in battle for tasting rooms, common sense
From the Naples News:
Florida’s “growler war” over craft beer may be ending under legislation passed by the state House Friday and ready to go to Gov. Rick Scott.
Senate Bill 186, already passed in the Senate, lifts the problematic requirement that craft breweries operate as tourist attractions, a holdover from the days when the law was intended to benefit Tampa’s Busch Gardens.
It also allows the breweries to sell beer in the popular 64-ounce, refillable “growler.” Current law allows 32- and 128-ounce growlers, but not the size in the middle, which brewers and craft beer fans say is the best size to buy the increasingly popular brews.
Well, now what, Florida? Might we recommend reading some handy growler features from Craft Brewing Business?
