Hi There. My name is Luke and I run BlogAboutBeer.com. I'm a 25 year old graduate of Clark University living in the great beer city of Portland, Maine. I'm also a freelance writer, Internet marketer, and social media nut. Oh and the beer, there's always the beer. It's a pretty safe bet that I'm usually either drinking or homebrewing a great craft beer.
Nice post. There are some definite wacky beer and liquor laws out there. Me being from Colorado, I was definitely
guillty of taking the horse out for a spin after cranking back some beers. For me, Utah’s liquor laws are ridiculous.
