A totally new beer market

Since Free the Hops passed the Gourmet Beer Bill in May 2009, increasing the permissible ABV in Alabama from 6% to 13.9%, the market has changed beyond all recognition. That’s my excuse for slacking off horribly in posting articles here, so here’s a suggestion to help out those of you who, like me, sometimes feel a bit intimidated by all the new beers on the market: head over to the Free the Hops “where the beers are” forum and see what’s going on around the state!
