Alabama, English Independent Brewers 
FYI: Alabama Free the Hops update.... From the President
I just thought I would pass this along. It's the latest email from the president of the "Free the Hops" organization in Alabama, Stuart Carter. (concerning our ongoing fight to change the archaic "6% ABV limit on beer" laws here) I hope anyone living in, or planning on visiting Alabama, would support this boycott. Free the Hops members and supporters, We are not far from the beginning of the 2008 legislative session! We are pushing even harder this year to ensure our bill will get passed, and have been speaking with those responsible for preventing success last year. Unfortunately, the leadership at Birmingham Budweiser is still working against the interests of both Anheuser Busch (who, in addition to Bud, brew dozens of beers that are currently illegal under Alabama law) and Alabama consumers. They have indicated that they will again work to prevent our bill, freeing the hops, from passing in the Alabama state legislature. It is with great sadness that I have to proceed on the basis of requesting all FtH members and supporters in the Jefferson County area to join in a formal boycott of Birmingham Budweiser products. I have sent the attached press release to various journalists, so you can expect to see this in the newspapers soon. If you have any news contacts, please pass this email with the two attachments on to them. I have included a list of products supplied by Birmingham Budweiser for ease of reference. If you are approached for a comment, I would ask you to model any responses on the content of the press release or to refer any requests for comment to me. Please also let me know who you spoke to and their contact details. If you hear from any retailers or other businesses who would like to join in, please ask them to contact me but also emphasise to them that this is a targeted action against the behaviours of the leadership of *Birmingham* Budweiser.

Olde Towne Brewing Reborn in Alabama
Lew mentioned the fire last year. Olde Towne Brewing in Huntsville, Alabama had burned down. I probably thought about this for about five seconds back then but, what with events at Utica lately, I noticed this bit of good news right away:
Less than a year after watching his business destroyed by fire, Don Alan Hankins is back in the beer-making business. He's putting the finishing touches on Olde Towne Brewing's new building off Leeman Ferry Road and expects to start brewing again this month.read more »

L.A. Times: Beer battle brewing in Alabama
<!--sizeo:150--><!--/sizeo-->Beer battle brewing in Alabama<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->
Erik S. Lesser / For The Times
ILLICIT INDULGENCE: Debbie Tipton pours a glass of home brew. Under Alabama law, such beers are illegal, as are whole categories of higher-alcohol factory brews, including Russian stouts, Scottish ales and bittersweet barleywines.
Aficionados are fighting to end decades-old state restrictions on making and drinking their beverage of choice. They have raised the ire of Southern Baptists.

A Few of Our Favorite Things and Activities
While beer cans are included in a broad sense, usually the term breweriana is refers to other items, e.g., signs, coasters, labels, crowns, glassware, and dozens of other places where beer logos have been found. To the upper left of the Ballantine Ale sign, you can see two quart cone top cans, the Dawson's can on the left is from New Bedford, MA, while the Cooper's Old Bohemian is from Philadelphia. These cans are probably late-1940s vintage. To the right you see some aluminum bottles.

Sister Act
From the website of the D. G. Yuengling Brewing Co., the future of the company is largely in the hands of the four daughters of Dick Yuengling, Jr. The four Yuengling family women will represent the sixth generation of family operation of America's Oldest Brewery. From its founding in 1829, by a combination of growth and attrition, Yuengling is now the 6th largest brewing company in the nation. From its three breweries in Pottsville, PA; Port Carbon/St. Clair, PA; and Tampa, FL - Yuengling produ read more »
