Assuming this goes though, I will be very interested to see the response from the commercial breweries.<br /><br />All that being said, I think everyone would agree that this kind of registration is at least rowing in the right direction.<br /><br />-JWJWhttp://www.lugwrenchbrewing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120297133837645019.post-57212968480971684322012-01-26T13:45:49.716-05:002012-01-26T13:45:49.716-05:00My perception is also that the bill targets brewpu...My perception is also that the bill targets brewpubs, not breweries. Brewpubs in the state include Trinity, Coddington, Union Station, and Mohegan Cafe and Brewery. Breweries, not targeted under this bill, include Newport Storm and Gray Sail, and also possibly the new Revival venture. That the bill only references brewpubs, and not breweries, limits the potential this bill has for fostering growth in that sector. It's a lot easier to start a small brewery, but then the distribution is difficult. It's a lot harder to start a brewpub, but then you have a place to sell your beer, so it's kind of a paradox.Tom Anoreply@blogger.com
