Can you say "Train Wreck"

Doesn't anyone realize the chaos this will create? Do you have any idea what Wisconsinites will do for free beer?



Wis. A Step Closer To Allowing Free Beer (Samples)

(AP) Madison, Wis. Beer lovers of Wisconsin, rejoice!

Thanks to the state Senate, you're a step closer to getting a free (yes, free!) half-can of beer.

The Senate approved a bill on an unanimous voice vote Tuesday that allows grocery and liquor stores to hand out samples of up to 6 ounces of free beer per day to people of legal drinking age. The Assembly was expected to take up the measure later Tuesday.

Current state law allows wineries, but not brewers, to offer up to 6 ounces of free samples.

Sen. Pat Kreitlow, D-Chippewa Falls, home of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co., is the bill's main sponsor. He said the measure is designed to help beer manufacturers compete with wine makers.
