  Mark Congrats South Carolina! The State House just approved the so called "Pint Bill" that will allow breweries to sell 48 ounces of beer to a person every 24 hours. No more tiny samples if you're wanting a pint - as long as the Governor signs the bill.

The memory of what took place is still fairly fresh in my mind. It’s a delirious haze of tiny tasting glasses, different shades of amber, beards, smiles, sunshine, big buckets of dregs and a torn off arm, giving me the finger, in the jaw of the yellow wolf.

First, I want to emphatically state that I love West Sixth beers! I stopped by the taproom soon after it opened... 2 sips into my first pint of IPA, I bought a case! Had several other beers during that visit, not a weak one in the bunch! At the same time, I commented to the bartender that the logo looked god-awful like Magic Hat's #9 turned upside-down. He replied, yeah, we hear that a lot! The logo may have been professionally designed, BUT, even if the designer wasn't familiar with other products in the market, surely at least one of the beer geeks involved would have noticed the strong resemblance, and it was apparently decided to press on, regardless!... WHY? By now, this fight is in the hands of the lawyers, and there are conflicting versions of what has transpired so far, (see "The Full Pint" on FaceBook) But this fight should have never been started!  less

The new laws could go into effect as soon as next week and as late as September 1st depending on when the individual bills are signed (or not) by the Governor.
