Just got this email from Madison Roane:
We have a potential sponsor in the Fl House to introduce legislation as a companion bill to Sentate Bill 2062, but he is hesitant to keep the provision that would allow brewpubs to sell for off-premise consumption. We need you to send an email ASAP to Rep Mike Horner, thanking him for considering sponsoring a companion bill to Senate Bill 2062, and state that you support legislation to allow brewpubs to sell for off-premise consumption. Use the following link:

The deadline for Representatives to submit bills for this years session is tomorrow, so please ACT NOW!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

If you've ever complained about the sorry state of Florida Brewing and you don't follow up by sending an email to Rep Mike Horner, sharing with him why you think Florida's beer scene is hampered by the growler/brewpub laws, then don't ever complain again, because you have a chance, right now, to do something!
This bill does not really effect CCB in any meaningful way, save that we would be able to sell 64 oz growlers (rather than just 32 oz and 128 oz) but it can not be understated how important this would be for Florida's brewpubs (current and future). This will literally make many people on the fense about it decide to test the brewpub waters. You'll see brewpub openings that likely would not have happened under the current laws. The ability to sell off-premise for brewpubs is a game changer and will put them on equal footing with most other states as well as every freaking winery in Florida which already enjoys this pirivelege!
So take 5 minutes out of your day and follow the above link to impress upon Rep. Mike Horner why Florida-brewed craft beer is important to you.
Cheers,
Joey R
