Thank you. I have a couple follow-up questions if you don't mind. First, do you know if the AHA will still be accepting competition entries from Oregon? Second, if a bar/brewery allows a club to meet and share homebrew, is the establishment resposible or the individuals, and what is the penalty for breaking the law? I looked over several pdfs on the OLCC site, but did not see anything that directly addressed this issue. Cheers! Kevin Denny,

In addition, I’m on the Governing Committee of the AHA. I’m also one of the organizers of a committee to get the law changed. We’ve been at work on it for a couple months now, with the support of the AHA which has dealt with several laws of this type. We’re also in contact with the guys in WA who recently got their law like this changed. What I’d like to say is calm down….things are well under way to get the law changed once the legislature convenes in Jan. 2011. At this point, we have a couple state legislators on board and draft language we’re looking. Angry letters to legislators or the OLCC will be counter productive at this point. We need to come off as the good guys, not angry jerks. We will have a website up at oregonhomebrewersalliance.org soon that will provide updates on the situation. In the meantime, you can sign up for the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/oregon-home-brewers-alliance . As the legislative session gets closer, we’ll be sending out Action Alerts to let people know what they can do. As egregious as the situation seems, it can and is being corrected. We’d like everyone to support the OHBA and our efforts on this law. I’m a member of the Cascade brewers Society in Eugene. In addition, I’m on the Governing Committee of the AHA.
