Bill would allow craft distilleries in Delaware

A bill that would allow small-scale liquor distilleries in Delaware has cleared a Senate committee.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday to release the bill, which creates a framework for issuing licenses to distill spirits.

The license fee would be $1,500 every two years, and so-called “craft distilleries” could make and sell up to 750,000 proof gallons of distilled spirits a year.

Licensees also would be able to sell liquor for consumption on or off the premises.

Microbrewery, brew pubs and farm wineries located in Delaware would be eligible to own and operate distilleries as well.

The legislation now goes to the Senate floor for a vote.

Beer Hunter: The Movie

Just found this on Facebook! I really miss the Michael Jackson! I didn’t know a movie was being made. Fall 2010! Woohoo! I can’t wait!

Beer Hunter: The Movie

Michael Jackson, beloved beer journalist, inspired thousands of brewers and beer enthusiasts with his books and television series, “The Beer Hunter.” He achieved cult status in the U.S., but many don’t realize his fame within the world of whiskey writing and tasting.

Filmmaker J.R. Richards traveled extensively with Michael throughout the United States and Europe, filming Michael as he got the story behind the world’s greatest beer and whiskey. Through this footage and interviews with leading brewers and beer enthusiasts, we are treated to an intimate picture of Michael: his enigmatic personality, his extraordinary life, his remarkable contributions, and his secret struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.

Set to release in the fall of 2010 in conjunction with the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, proceeds from the film will benefit the National Parkinson’s Foundation, and the complete library of edited footage will be available to the public on DVD and online at www.beerhuntermovie.com. Feel free to contact us to make a tax-deductible charitable donation to support the film and the Parkinson’s Foundation, and feel free to contact us with your footage, photos, and memories of Michael.
