Gee, would I turn down a free Bud or Miller? No, its good for killing slugs. But would I drink it? Hell no.

Another "permission" for freedom.
Oh, thank you, government!
I never knew we had the basic right to such things!

Alcohol is bad for you, like tobacco. Results in many deaths, and higher health care costs.
Instead of giving it away for free, the libs should be banning it altogether.

"Free beer." The juxtaposition of two of the noblest words in the English language. "Free." "Beer." (Doffs hat, holds over heart...)

The beer company says it will conduct only small educational tastings about new beers. Education...WOOHOO!

They have wine tastings at most wineries and vineyards. I would think though that most don't usually do those for free though.

I want to know how the law banning free beer got on the books anyway. Somebody was asleep at the switch.

Wrong. 2 oz. of alcohol a day is good for you. Thats the facts.

I guess they aren't planning on offering free "cigarette tasting" during the Happy Hours, sponsored by Liggett-Meyers or R.J. Reynolds?
Hmph...I thought not...

Probably due to powerful Napa Valley interests - "Big Wine"

I know in Kalifornia, they got free medical, free schools, free food, etc., but you gotta be here ILLEGALY to "qualify".....

"What is the reason behind giving someone 8 ounces of beer free? One could argue that with wineries, each winery is different and every bottle is different depending on age or season. But we're talking about beer here."Apparently Senator Teetotaler has never been to a microbrewery/restaurant. They might have half a dozen brews from among every major style (lager, stout, etc.) on tap. A shot-glass of four different samples is your eight ounces.

I want to know how the law banning free beer got on the books anyway. Somebody was asleep at the switch. I can remember before the ban....Sometime around 1970, when we were at the Busch Gardens Brewery in Van Nuys, CA, where one could sample, Bud, Bud Lite and Michelob. Of course, I was way too young to imbibe, but I did try to sneak the foam off dad's sample :o)
