Here are some copy/pastes from a few emails:<br /><br /><i>For some reason, in the legal drafting realm -- even though it specifies 12oz bottles -- normally that language would not exclude other containers unless specifically stated.<br /><br />In other words, while it implies exclusivity, it is really just an example.<br /></i>SirRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964233394272915511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22580343.post-77507094532535210762011-02-09T07:52:42.478-06:002011-02-09T07:52:42.478-06:00Anon,

Let's say it does allow for can's or even 750 mL. Then that only helps Southern Star and Jester King, but still excludes those breweries like (512), Live Oak, and many others that don't package their beer. If they had used the nomenclature of up to 576 oz, then maybe you could walk out of those places with a grolwer during a tour. However with the way the bill is currently wording, you are only helping a very small portion of breweries in TX and leaving the rest out in the cold.Barleyvinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621247772269283238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22580343.post-66428559588511508502011-02-08T19:26:19.820-06:002011-02-08T19:26:19.820-06:00I agree that 660 is the stronger bill, but am curi...I agree that 660 is the stronger bill, but am curious as to the specific language in 602 that you feel would allow only 12 oz. to be given away. It says that the total amount to be given away may not exceed 48 12 oz. bottles, but I don't see where is says that any size other than 12 oz. bottles would be prohibited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
