North Carolina has just passed a law raising the maximum beer strength for sales and production from 6% to 15%. Until the change, North Carolina had been one of only six states limiting beer to 6 percent alcohol or less. Welcome to the 21st century North Carolina!

Until most of the blue laws and dry counties change in that state, they are still going to be WAY behind the times. The Southern Baptist church rules that area of the country, and they still make it a bitch to get ANY form of alcohol.
While visiting that area of the country for a vacation with the inlaws, we found a town where the liquor was in one store (simply marked "ABC Package Store.") the wine was at Wal Mart, and the beer was at some odd little corner grocer 5 miles off the main drag.
I guess the Southern Baptists want you to not spend your money on beer so they can get the money from you instead to build their Tacoma Dome sized "churches."
Sorry, my inner voice was ranting on the outside again... _________________ kidvelvet
