 J, of the Brookston Beer Bulletin, recently posted this article about how the TTB, Department of Homeland Security, FDA, and IRS teamed up to protect America from bioterrorist attacks at Creekside Brewing. The long and short of things is that the TTB required Creekside Brewing to build a wall around their Fermentation vessels before granting their liscence. Creekside complied, and spent about $15,000 along the way. When pressed about the specific codes that require brewers to protect their equipment from terrorists, the TTB deferred to the Dept. of Homeland Security...who then deffered to the ATF and the FDA... both of whom replied that the agency responsible for regulating Alcohol is the TTB. That's government in action if I've ever seen it. Read the full blog entry here, and it wouldn't hurt to check out the SLO New Times article he referenced.
