Mississippi Law Passes Allowing Higher ABV Beer

Remember this?image  Well good news…the law passed allowing brewers in the state of Mississippi to increase the maximum ABW to 8%, which equates to 10% ABV.  From the SunHerald:

Gov. Phil Bryant signed Senate Bill 2370 into law Tuesday, which allows breweries to manufacture and sell beer with more than 8 percent alcohol by weight to states that allow sales of stronger beer.

Mark Henderson, co-owner of Mississippi's only brewery, Lazy Magnolia, said the law will have major benefits to the Kiln business. Henderson said Lazy Magnolia will have the ability to serve as a contract brewer for companies that make beer with higher alcohol content. The brewery will also be able to expand their variety of beer offerings for sale outside the state, he said.  Full details here.
