There is no national Lift the Limit effort. The lift the limit website that
Mike England originally started does live on in a needing attention form at
www.liftthelimit.org

 

North Carolina was successful in lifting their limit and there is
information available at www.popthecap.org and especially at
http://www.popthecap.org/?page_id=2 for the history of what they did.

 

Alabama is working hard to lift their limit: see www.freethehops.org

 

Anyone that has actually talked and/or gotten responses from their
legislators please let me know. I'd like to compile information to
co-ordinate with what has turned out to be a not very effective effort on my
part for the Iowa Brewers Guild (our Professional brewers special interest
group).

 

Who was it that recently said there was a "funnel" deadline last week for
legislation?

 

Dave

Is there a national Lift the Limit effort?  If so, anyone have a link?  If
not, what are the best state Lift the Limit sites?  I am asking because I
receive a reply from my State Representative from my Lift the Limit email.
She seems very positive and potentially helpful to our cause.  I would like
to incorporate these links into a follow up email.

 

Also, I seem to remember reading or hearing something about a second brewery
(besides Millstream) in Iowa.  Can anyone confirm this and provide
information if this is correct?

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take ten minutes to identify and contact your State
Senator and State Representative about Lifting the Limit in Iowa.  All the
information you need is at teh IBU website, www.iowabrewersunion.org
<http://www.iowabrewersunion.org/> . You can copy the letter verbatim, just
change the signature.  We have some momentum, let's build on it and get the
limit raised.

 

Anyone with contacts to other Iowa home brew clubs, please get them
involved.

 

Cheers,

Randle
