AI has understandably complained about how his North Dakota colleagues, or students, drink canned Miller Light — I refer to it as sparkling water. AI, our legislators heard you, and Representative Dan Ruby of Minot has responded: check out this short article regarding North Dakota House Bill 1249. It will allow North Dakotans to take our fine grains, barley hops, and potatoes, and start distilling whiskey, vodka, single malt and, I hope, a decent beer selection.
You'll notice the teetotalers got on this blog and immediately tried to turn this into a bill that would lead to evil, certainly an increase in underage drinking and drunk driving, both groups obviously interested in seeking out micro-brews and 12 year scotch. But you'll also notice MFT and a couple of his friends have answered. MFT posted under the pseudonym "Aaron," trying to keep the conversation on target.
Enjoy.

MFT, I did not see any comments using that pseudonym. Nor, in fact, many comments at all [about 10]. Is this the same "blog" you were referring to?
Mine is 9th from the bottom-up (scroll down to the bottom first post, and count up nine). Or, here are my sentiments:
Jan 14, 2009 8:03 PM: "Microbreweries are running full-force throughout North America, and have been for at least a couple decades. Some post against this bill on this board. But they won't be able to stop the broader international trend. North Dakota has been poised to demonstrate exactly how our glorious hops and wheat can create the finest beers, whiskeys, single malts, [and] vodkas the world has yet to see. Outstanding idea, Ruby. Absolutely outstanding. "
