Huh. You can now brew your own whiskey in Washington state

They lowered the annual license cost from $2000 to $100 and loosened up some of the rules on how much you can sell and the ability to hold tastings. They have a very interesting rule that you have to buy at least 51% of your materials from Washington producers, good for local growers, but that rule wouldn't work in every state.

I found it off an article on Wired on whiskey geeks brewing their own. A comment indicated that one guy is "pot brewing" his own rum! I'd be more curious about that than whiskey.

Interesting. Certainly makes it easier for people to get spirits that are to their taste.
