Wisconsin brewers stage old-fashioned protest<\/a><\/p>\n

July 11th, 2007
<\/em><\/p>\n

A group of Wisconsin brewers <\/em>blasted open barrels of beer <\/em><\/a>on the docks of the Milwaukee River in their own version of the Boston Tea Party. They did this to protest a proposed bill they said would create complications for startup breweries. The measure would divide small breweries into two licensed classes \u2013 those who want to serve food as brewpubs and those who seek to bottle and distribute their product on a larger scale. Startups would have to immediately declare which class they were in.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery business takes on a life of its own,\u201d said Jim McCabe, proprietor of the Milwaukee Ale House. \u201cFor the guy that wants to start a brewery tomorrow, he\u2019s got to make decisions early in his business life that aren\u2019t possible.\u201d

The portest was serious, and important to the future of small breweries in Wisconsin, but it\u2019s OK to giggle for a moment at this line from the story:
<\/em>
\u201cOne tourist boat full of onlookers yelled \u2018Beer!\u2019 with a woman opening her mouth in a vain attempt to reach the fountain of foam more than 20 yards away.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
