Mixed news about HB 660 & HB 602 as told by
Travis Poling and
Ronnie Crocker. Looks like brew pubs will not be able to distribute their own product (wholesalers got that taken out) & Poling ends his short article*: "Although it is a very consumer-friendly bill, expect distributors to put up more of a fight on this one because they will be doubly cut out of the equation for every barrel sold." I'm terrible with this kind of thing, so I'm not sure how that works exactly, but I trust Poling does.

A clearer & more positive outlook comes from
Brewed and Never Battered, a blog with updated information about the bills (specifically HB 660) from Scott Metzger,
Freetail owner. Check out the testimony he gave before the Licensing and Administrative Procedures Committee on March 22, 2011.

*According to the same article, Alamo and Rahr both faired well at the World Beer Championship in Chicago.
