Madison -- The Assembly started its last day of the regular legislative session Thursday by passing a bill to liberalize the production of beer and wine at home.

The bill now goes to the Senate, which is expected to pass it later Thursday.

The Assembly session is expected to stretch late into the night, and likely into Wednesday morning, as it wraps up its work. On the docket are bills that would shake up the board that controls the Milwaukee Area Technical College and put restrictions on administering abortion drugs.

The home brew bill was a rare sign of bipartisanship. It passed on a voice vote without dissent. It would say a license to make beer or wine is not required if the person making the beer or wine doesn’t receive compensation, doesn’t sell the product and makes no more than 200 gallons in a year, depending on the number of people of legal drinking age in a household.

The bill allows home brewers to share their beers and wines with others and enter their products in competitions.
