It's is with great pleasure we announce: SB234 has been signed! Free the Hops, Alabama's craft beer advocates, are pleased to announce that Senate Bill 234, the Growler Privacy Bill, has been signed into law by Governor Ivey and will take effect Aug 1, 2017.



This bill, sponsored by Senator Bill Holtzclaw, alleviates the regulatory burden requiring Alabama breweries and brewpubs to collect intrusive personal information from customers when purchasing products to-go. We applaud this common sense legislation that protects consumer interests and supports local breweries.



We would like to thank Senator Holzclaw supporting this Bill all the way to the Governor's office, the newly appointed Governor Ivey for signing it, and for each of you whom reached out to your Representatives in Montgomery to show your support for this much needed amendment.



This proves once again that the consumers in Alabama have a voice and it is being heard. Free The Hops is proud to a part of your ranks!
