"If changing this law means an increased risk of arrest because of the media coverage, I am still willing to do it," he said. "This is simply a horrible, outmoded law that needs to be changed."
Some of the people who don't take the law seriously are Alabama lawmakers. Earlier this year Free the Hops had a legislative reception.
"We had five tables of beer -- four of fine beers imported from out of state and one of home brews that our members made," Little said. "I was at the home brew table and told everyone 'What you see before you was illegal for us to make. It is illegal for us to be in possession of, and it will be illegal for you to drink.' It didn't stop anyone from drinking it. It was by far the most popular table there."
