House Bill 2429 could mean local brews at farmers' markets

It's prime farmers' market season which is pretty sweet in and of itself but imagine how much sweeter those leisurely strolls around the stand would be with a cold pint of Victory Prima Pils. Rep. Dante Santoni is pushing for craft breweries to be able to buy daily permits that would allow them to pump pints at farmers' markets and other public food events.

House Bill 2429 could mean local brews at farmers' markets

POSTED: Friday, June 22, 2012, 3:19 PM

It's prime farmers' market season which is pretty sweet in and of itself but imagine how much sweeter those leisurely strolls around the farm stands would be with a cold pint of Victory Prima Pils.  Rep. Dante Santoni is pushing for craft breweries to be able to buy daily permits that would allow them to pump pints at farmers' markets and other public food events.   

 

Given the fact that craft brewers provide hundreds of thousands of jobs nationally and drunk people tend to spend more money, even on produce, House Bill 2429 seems like a win-win situation.   So if you're in favor of shopping for heirloom tomatoes with hefeweizen in hand, be sure to show your support for 2429. 

 

And Mr. Santoni, if your bill passes, the next round is on us.
