Well, the wait is killing me…….no updates to give, just waiting. Anyone want to join me in a midnight salute to SC Craft beer on Wednesday (confused????- It’s Wednesday midnight/Thursday morning). Sounds a tad cheesy, but I’ve been waiting so long, I know I’ll want to celebrate. So get your hands on something that at 11:59 would be illegal….and at the stroke of midnight—-woohoo- totally on the right side of the law for once! Either this barleywine went straight to my head or I’m a bit anxious.
Anyone else half looney with the wait??? And with what will you indulge at midnight?
So, I hear no HG products can be sold until June 1. No one has been able to confirm this though. As long as I know the law has passed, I can wait. No complaints here.

I don’t get off until 2. AM, but how does some Hercules XX IPA from Great Divide sound?

Im defiantly no scholar so someone please correct me if im wrong but I believe it will go into effect as soon as he signs it. After skimming through the state constitution I didnt see anything about waiting till June 1st. As a matter of fact the previous alcohol laws went into effect on March 15th.

I spoke with a dealer here (Total Wine) and each product has to be individually approved for sale in SC. If the distributors were on the ball they would have this done ahead of time but who knows all the twists and turns involved with that.
Looks like more than likely there won;t be stock on shelves (in coolers) for a while in almost all cases.

It looks like enterprising brewpubs will be able to beat retailers and distributors to the punch because of the state imposed delay. I would presume that they could have something ready to go on tap by midnight Wednesday. Even if they waited until then to brew, it could go on tap in as little as two weeks.
