Good job, FDB. You wrote in to voice displeasure and it looks like they actually listened.

quote:

Sighs of relief are bubbling to the surface at craft breweries across the state after the commissioner of the office of Alcohol & Tobacco Control Monday backed off stricter new regulations governing Louisiana’s burgeoning microbrewery industry. Dorsey Knott, one of three Knott brothers who founded and operate the seven-year-old Bayou Teche Brewing Co. in Arnaudville, says he was near his phone all morning Monday getting text-message updates from representatives of the Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild, who had an emergency meeting with ATC Commissioner Juana Marine-Lombard in New Orleans. The two sides, Knott says, achieved a detente that will more or less allow craft breweries to operate under the status quo — that is, sell food and have live music on their premises.

We talked about this stuff some this weekend. Politicians suck is the main conclusion that came out of our conversation. Even if they don't directly screw things up, they create bureaucracies that have the power to screw things up. It seems to me that the ATC didn't have to do this and had no real reason to do this, other than political pressure.

Dammit. Was hoping ATC's Nazism would be our gain.

I didn't even realize this was in danger of becoming an issue for craft breweries. That would have devastated the LA market. Glad people came to their senses.

Seems like it was more the ATC testing the waters see what they can get away with, without push back. Glad the breweries won this round!
