Cooked Crack Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Quote MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A bill working its way through the Tennessee legislature could put a chill on cold beer sales in the state. SB 2636, according to its summary on the state website, “prohibits a beer permittee from selling at retail refrigerated or cold beer.” It passed two votes in the Senate and was referred to a committee. The bill was introduced on Jan. 31 by Sen. Paul Rose and Rep. Ron Gant, who represent parts of West Tennessee near the Memphis area. The Tennessee Department of Transportation says one out of three fatal crashes involves a DUI. Rep. Gant said this would serve as a deterrent for people who are considering cracking open a beer behind the wheel. Quote Andy Ashby, co-owner of Memphis Made Brewing, said he’d heard about the bill and was concerned about the effect it might have on his company’s sales. “That would be very detrimental to our brewery and the beer business in general,” Ashby said. Ashby said getting rid of cold beer sales would directly impact his craft brewery. Convenience and grocery store sales are a key part of his business, he said, and consumers prefer beer when it’s refrigerated. “There’s a saying in beer sales: Cold is gold,” he said. https://wreg.com/news/mid-south/bill-could-ban-cold-beer-sales-in-tennessee/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Have they tried really getting tough on drunk drivers instead of just squeezing them for fines and dip**** clownshoe DUI “lawyers” and putting them right back out on the road? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Probably shouldn't surprise anyone when the church has been behind prohibiting alcohol sales on Sundays or before a certain time on Sundays for a long time in many states.

It was a public referendum on the ballot in 2010 that passed here in GA giving us Sunday sales. The entire state was dry (other than restaurants/bars, which was completely silly) until that point. I knew people who had made the 4 hour drive to Chattanooga, TN just to get beer...of course, it was all gone by the time they got back to ATL ...which really isn't funny at all. Our Sunday sales cannot begin before 12:30pm, however. We are in the buckle of the Bible belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of the stupid church outweighs everything sometimes. Here in Cali..anything goes. 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 When I lived in Colorado one could only buy beers on Sundays that were 3.2% ABV. Except at bars and restaurants. There ya could drink like a normal person. 🤑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
