Stealing that line from Elton John seems suitable for another example of whats wrong with Tennessee and the strict beer laws we choose to enforce. I heard this rumor last week while visiting with the owner of a small brewery in western North Carolina. Apparently the rumor is real and we loose again. When will our legislators realize that Georgia, North Carolina and other surrounding states have left Tennessee in their dust?
I found out this summer when registering for the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp contest that we trailed behind the rest of the nation. Only Tennessee and Alabama residents were ineligible for this nation wide contest. I'll follow up on that in a future post. So Volunteer State residents cue up Elton and sing along as the all the new construction cranks up just 90 miles to the east.
