Surly brewery is now prohibited from selling growlers because they got too big. The bill would up the annual limit on a micro-brewery which would enable them to sell growlers. Write your house rep to support it if you ever want to buy a Surley growler ...... -----Original Message----- From: Michael Nelson [mailto:Rep.Michael.Nelson@house.mn] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 10:29 AM To: Steve(a)SChesney.com Subject: Growler Bill-HF 546 Steve, I just wanted to let you know that I introduced a bill addressing the issue you brought up at Surly Brewery. I have attached it below, but you can monitor its movement on the House website. Now, I have spoken with staff in our non-partisan House Research Department and this bill will need some tweaking during committee. I have asked for a hearing, but I do not know when or if I will get one. Michael Nelson
