Marshall was instrumental in putting together the bill that became law that allows tastings in Oklahoma breweries. I hope it is only a stepping stone for consumers to be able to buy beer at breweries if they choose to sell to the public. There really aren’t any bills to that effect breweries in this next session.

I also am interested in being able to buy a corkscrew at my liquor store! That is how oudated our liquor laws are. You have to amend the constitution of the state of Oklahoma to buy a corkscrew!

Do you know who your representative is? Now is the time to find out. Not just about beer laws but about whatever you care about. Contact them, tell them how you feel. They represent you! How can they represent you without knowing what is important to you. What beer laws do you want changed?
