New Conn. Law allows brewpubs to sell six packs

As of June 19, Connecticut's brewpubs are legally allowed to bottle and sell their beer to wholesalers for distribution. Steve Boucino and Scott Scanlon, owners of The Cambridge House in Granby, hired a lobbyist at the state capitol and encouraged fans of his beer to flood the legislature with letters. The legislators wanted to make sure that the brewpubs didn't distribute the beer themselves to keep the wholesale distributors happy.

In Texas, Wholesale distibutors killed a proposal to allow microbrewers to sell six packs on their property. In fact, State Law prohibits a Texas microbrewery from telling a visitor where their beer is sold.
