was on the subject of beer:
Another of the dinner guests — not Dr. Merritt — asked about the state’s Prohibition-era legislation that bans home-brewed beer and brew pubs. Libertarians in the state are backing ”Free the Hops” legislation to overturn the ban. Asked if he favored legalizing home-brewed beer, James jokingly responded: ”We’re not going to put up with any cheap stuff.”
Quality beer, OK. Bad beer, not OK.
If there is one thing that Massachusetts has it’s a large amount of Microbreweries in the state.
One of my regrets concerning Stacy’s Trip here is we didn’t get a chance to take him on the Wachusett Brewery Tour, although he did get a chance to have a few bottles of Wachusett Country Ale.
I don’t know what he thought of it, but he might be able to answer from Alabama.
