I hope they wrap this up prior to next years Sasquatch Brewfest.
http://www.northwestlegendsfoundation.org/State governments do screwy things when they run out of money, our beer taxes were raised again a few months ago and are among the highest in the nation - over 10 times greater than Oregon's - so watch out (Hawaii is $1.00 a gallon, Oregon was $0.08).
You can't have beer judges be drinking untaxed homebrew - probably another $500 the state of Oregon could collect if they crack down and eliminate that BJCP loophole. Sad, but I'm sure that is the root of this new crackdown.
Oregon has raised the personal income tax rate so high lately, many of the wealthy I suspect already have a second home (or moved completely) over to Washington State already. And they can now drive around WA with homebrew in the car!
During the boom tax collection years of 2006-2008 the states and feds still spent it a fast as they collected it.
