We followed along with the news of Mississippi’s raising of the legal ABV limit for beer…upping it to 10% ABV. We even brought you the celebration at Yazoo Brewing as the clock hit midnight. Now comes word that brewers in Mississippi have already sent in 124 new label requests for these higher ABV beers. Details from the ClarionLedger:
"We have approved 124 (new) labels for distribution already," said Kathy Waterbury, communications director for the Mississippi Department of Revenue. "There were a lot of them we got right after it was signed into law. Really, they were already calling before it was signed into law.
"So, yes, there will be new product coming."
And not only from out of state.
The Lazy Magnolia Brewing Co. in Kiln, currently Mississippi's lone brewery, unveiled an India Pale Ale dubbed "Timber Beast" at midnight Sunday.
