The bill sponsored by Rep. Thomas Jackson, D-Thomasville, would allow beer with an alcohol content up to 13.9 percent by volume.

Now that's what I call a beer.

The Bill already passed the Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee, so next step is the State Senate then the Governor.
FTH made it this far last year, then died like everything else in the Senate. I think it has the votes, if it gets voted on.

Now if we can just get rid of the dry counties and bans on Sunday sales, it will be one step towards progress for Alabama.
