Thanks to new legislation passed under the South Carolina Craft Beer Economic Development Act, residents of the southern state are now able to bring more brews home with them than ever before.
Prior to the ratification of the legislation, which went into effect in May, residents were restricted to purchasing just 288 fluid ounces of beer from breweries — an amount equivalent to a measly, singular case of 12-ounce cans. Under the new law, which triples the permitted amount, consumers are now able to buy 864 ounces of beer per purchase. That’s equivalent to three cases of 12-ounce cans or two cases of 16-ounce cans. Craft brew buyers can also now take home a one 661-ounce keg called a sixtel.
