The Brewers Association, the great folks behind the American Craft Beer Week and many other efforts in support of craft brewing, also bring us a great resource for proactively supporting state and federal legislation related to homebrewing and the craft brewing industry.

“Support Your Local Brewery is a national, grassroots partnership of beer enthusiasts, professional trade associations and brewers dedicated to supporting and protecting the legislative and regulatory interests of small, traditional and independent craft breweries.” The website is an incredible resource on national and state issues, providing national and state by state descriptions, links to bills and a wealth of information on how you can get involved.  Sign up for e-action alerts and get notified of national or state legislative or regulatory initiatives that affect small, independent and traditional breweries in your state.  It is an impressive and important effort by the Brewers Association which already counts over 834,000 beer activists in its goal to reach 1,000,000.
