    Current legislation that allowed for temporary delivers and shipping set to end this Wednesday I think. Support the BEER act! The potential to help brewers across the state is huge.
    For example, could I live in a world where scratch ships to my house? Yes please! I'm already hooked on dovetail drops as it is!

    Any negatives to the act or are the 3 items listed the only proposed changes

    Another point I believe with the DTC shipping is that it allows out of state breweries to ship direct (as long as their home state also allows them to).

    Currently we can get Threes, Burial, Fonta Flora shipped direct to us and would be nice to keep that up as well as potential future options as more states enact similar legislation.

    Hopefully halftime, tavour, and other sellers would still be ok

    I’d rather pay shipping than convenience fees.

    So it doesn’t look like this will pass before the July deadline. Unfortunately that means goodbye to beer deliveries from breweries

    Yea, most breweries that I have ordered directly from for delivery have already announced they are discontinuing the deliveries. Its a shame because it was a great program.

    Tell everyone you know to stop buying alcohol in Illinois. If you can show a significant impact on the state’s tax revenue from alcohol sales they will be forced to put the law into effect or raise everyone’s taxes to compensate.

    Would you be able to make a trip to the Himalaya's to let me know when it passes? Because I'm going to have to become a Buddhist monk for that to happen.

    We would only be hurting our local brewers. Won't change the politicians minds, if anything more support for IL brewers provides more bargaining power

    Here's an announcement from ICBG of what was introduced in HB 2620. Was hoping for delivery and DTC shipping but seems the distributor lobby succeeded on the counterfeit rotgut booze angle in the end. :wink:

    Key excerpts here. Bold emphasis is mine.

    Can we just skip to the part where we blame the secondary market? :rofl:
