Check out the book at - Industry News ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AND A BEER FOR EACH OF MY WIVES The Baltimore Sun recently published the story of Greg Schriff and his Polygamy Porter vs. the good folks at the Utah Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. It seems that Mr. Schrif, the owner/brew master of Wasatch Brewing Co., Park City, Utah, is advertising his beers on public billboards that say - "Why have just one?" and "Take some home for the wives," a clear allusion to the out-dated, illegal, still practicing polygamists of Utah. (Despite the fact that polygamy has been illegal in Utah since 1890, there are still many folks with more mothers in-laws than most of us.) Schrif is no stranger to controversy. He forced state regulators to license microbreweries and brew pubs in the 1980s. Two years ago, he successfully tangled with Olympic organizers over his "2002 Unofficial Amber Ale." The liquor board tried to head off Schrif by passing a regulation that banned ads using religious themes or symbols. But according to the Baltimore Sun, "...the board approved the measure during an apparently secret meeting, raising questions about its legal underpinnings. The matter is now in court. In the meantime, Schrif is selling beer and merchandise on his Web site (www.utahbrewers.com) and promoting Park City."

Pale-colored bock beers also are brewed today.
