Uh, beer bill passed... last week

I got busy and pre-occupied last week, and thus failed to post the good news: Governor Mark Sanford signed the bill allowing the commercial sale of beer in South Carolina to be 14 percent alcohol by weight, or 17.5 percent alcohol by volume. Here's some info from Pop the Cap South Carolina: http://ptcsc.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/south-carolina-has-popped-its-cap/ .

Meanwhile, in this coming Thursday's edition of The Weekly Surge, I'll have some comments from Myrtle Beach commercial brewers.
