I reached out to the Tax and Trade Bureau for clarification about the White House brewery and the legality of hiring personal chefs to do one’s homebrewing. Interestingly, it’s an issue that the TTB has never had to rule on before. Check out the update to last week’s post for all the details.
A win for Weed

In a rare win for good sense, the TTB has reversed its earlier decision and is now allowing Mt. Shasta Brewing Co., based in Weed, CA, to use its slogan “Try Legal Weed” on its bottle caps. Regulators decided that, given the rest of the packaging, consumers would not be misled by the motto.
