The Florida State Senate just passed SB 1714, which restricts how much craft breweries can sell to consumers. The bill allows micro-breweries selling up to 2, 000 kegs a year of their own brew to sell beer in any size container. But if they sell more than 2, 000 kegs a year, the bill prohibits them from selling their beer in sealed cans or bottles for home consumption directly from the microbrewery. This could put them out of business. So it's no surprise the bill is backed heavily by the Florida Beer Wholesalers Association, who stands to economically benefit. And it's also no surprise that the FBWA just contributed heavily to the legislators' campaign funds. The Resident discusses.
