According to the AP Wire, N.C. Senate gives initial OK to removing alcohol cap on beverages. The article is careful to point out that the approval is tentative, but still, that’s progress. North Carolina may get the limit raised to 15 percent (from six).

I realized also why I was taking an interest in North Carolina beer politics… my brother may well be relocating there soon. He’d definitely appreciate a raised limit :)…
