"NABC vs. Floyd County Health Department", at Louisville Beer Blog.


Kevin Gibson's Louisville Beer Blog delivers as promised: It's a locally-oriented, fun look at the Louisville beer scene. He's a longtime LEO columnist and free-lance writer.

Kevin offers a solid take on the current imbroglio afflicting my world here: wordpress.com/2013/06/21/nabc-vs-floyd-county-health-department/">NABC vs. Floyd County Health Department).

My thought about this strange and sudden clamp-down is “why?” Baylor called it a “power grab” in a press statement and filed an appeal, standing up for the fact that this abrupt mandate has no precedent. Meanwhile, Floyd County Health Officer Dr. Tom Harris is calling it a “state regulation,” and that vendors pouring beer at any public event must indeed pony up the $20 for a food permit. Yet, Baylor, who has been doing business in Floyd County and the surrounding areas for years, has never experienced it or even gotten a whiff of it until now.
