South Carolina has moved a step closer to increasing the alcohol-by-weight ceiling from 5 percent to 14 percent, which would pave the way for the legality of craft beer (a longer definition here) that enthusiasts say would help the state's economy (because folks presently travel to neighboring states) and allow for some of the world's highest-quality beers to be sold in your locale.
A bill that increases the limit from 5 percent to 14 percent passed the second reading yesterday and is scheduled for third reading April 10.
There's been a statewide effort behind this for a while, and you can track its progress here. (Here's a snazzy pro-craft beer flyer.)
Pending the outcome of the previously mentioned bill, there are other attempts floating around the statehouse right now to "pop the cap."
What do you think? What's your favorite beer that's too crafty for S.C. presently?
