Another stab at liquor law reform

[DolfanBob]

Me and my buddies used to go to Seneca Missouri and get gallon jugs of shine and chase the shots with Little Kings beer. I cant even imagine trying that at my, well mature age.
Now that I think of it. We had one crazy teenage life.

Absolutely.  And that comes from the corn and malted corn.  Certain yeasts tend to thrive on certain grains in certain areas.  If we had anything approaching rational thought in this country, I would love to try some home distillation.  Micro-distillery in the workshop would be great!  "Modern" moonshiners seem to take the easy way out too often.  They use sugar (instead of malt) and package yeast.

Wheat has one that is fairly prevalent that makes a great sourdough starter, and that has different strains.  San Francisco is different from Oklahoma for sourdough starters.  (Small packages of yeast makes a good starter, but has different flavor from wild.)

There's nothing to keep you from it.  Just keep it to yourself and your closest friends and don't try to sell it.

Little Kings were one hell of a hangover waiting to happen.  Can't imagine moonshine boilermakers with Kings.  Ouch!

Do you know the difference between moonshine and ethanol? Nothing.

If the feds bust my still,  I'm going with the "fuel for my tractor" defense in court.

That will work until they see the "Diesel Fuel Only" placard on the fuel tank

No kidding.  I used to have those with buddies out at the Midnight Races back in the late 80s.  Up until 4am doing nothing but drinking.  10am rolled around after some sleep and you wished someone had put you out of your misery.

They were the perfect size for beer bongs and tasted like cream when you chugged them that fast.

Hmm.....Seems you boy's know a bit much about makin that there shine. What wuz your names again ? 

Beer starts in a very similar manner.

The interim fermented step is called beer.  Somewhere along the line, someone got in a hurry and just strained it and started drinking, I think.

It's still illegal, even for your own use.  One of these days when I reach the guido level of economics, I will just go ahead and buy the tax stamp and make my own.  Until then, will just buy from the store.

They need a better website (Oklahomans for Modern Laws)...

I am hearing there may be legislation introduced that will allow breweries to give tours and provide samples of their products, a right already afforded to Oklahoma wineries. Here's hoping a small change like this doesn't meet opposition as some of these other larger bills will. A similar bill was tried last legislative session, but didn't go anywhere (although it would have allowed brewers to sell their beer to the public, again, something wineries can do).

House Bill 2477 has been submitted that would allow breweries to give samples. Hooozzaahhh!!

I'm going through more of the proposed legislation for "Intoxicating Beverages" and found a fun one.

HB3100 would make it illegal to drink on your 21st birthday. You would have to wait until 7AM the next day.

Wow.  Even in the 21st century we can write some asinine stuff into law.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma.  There, so nice, I said it twice.

I guess we need to make sure you are actually 21 years old and not a few hours less.
