House passes home-brewing bill, sends it to Bryant
The House has sent a bill to Gov. Phil Bryant that would legalize home brewing in Mississippi.
House members voted 70-36 Wednesday to approve the final version of Senate Bill 2183, which allows people 21 and older to brew up to 200 gallons of beer each year, as long as they live in a city or county where alcohol sales are legal.
“We’re excited about it,” said Craig Hendry, of Jackson, president of the beer advocacy group Raise Your Pints. “We’ve been working on it for five years, so it’s been a long hard road.”
Bryant’s spokesman did not immediately respond to a question about whether the Republican governor would sign the bill.
