If it comes within either of the above descriptions it will be clenr- a criminal act to make sell or ses-i home brew. In addition to the above I will say that under section 448 (b) of the Ilth volume of Park’s Annotated Code of Georgia, it is provided that the term, "prohibited liquors and beverages,’’ whether used “In thi» article or any other Law to promote temperance or to sup press the evils of intemperance, shall include and be deemed to brace the following: (1) Alcohol, alcoholic liquors, spiritous liquor! and all mixed liquors, any pnrt ol which is rectified spirits, nhsinthe, whiskey, brandy, rum and gin; (2) vinous liquors nr»d beverages: (S) nil malted, fermented or brewed liquors of any name or description, manufactured from malt wholly pnrt. such as beer, lager beer, n beer porter and ala and nil brewed or fermented liquors and beverage) in whic h maltose is a substantial imrml: nt. whether alcoholic or n< <»r whether intoxicating or not: (-1 any drinks, liquors, or beveragi containing one half of one per cent of alcohol or more by volume at degrees Fahrenheit; or any other liquids or liquors mn.iufncturcd or sold, or otherwise disposed of, for beverage purposes containing said amount of one-half of one per cent alcohol or more: <5) any intoxica ting bitters or beverages by what ever name called; (6) all liquors and beverages? or drinks made in imita tion of or intended as a substitute for beer, ale, wine or whiskey, other rlcoholic or spiritous, vinous, or j jJTY y ( malt liquors, including those liquors i , and beverages commonly known and I called near-beer.’’ You will perceive from the above The seacoast have its bar. that the prohibiten laws in force in And each of us will have Georgia are properly and rightfully No matter who we are. named "The Bone Dry Law.’’ If home! — brew comes within any of the above! No. 17 Calvaniaad Coal Seattle* descriptions then it is clearly a crim-1 50c Chandler’* Variety Store. Inal act for anyone to manufacture,! “ sell or possess home brew. It is im possible for me to state in this letter whether home brew comes within any of the above descriptions, for the reason I do not know the ingredients that compose it If there is any doubt upon the com posite parts of home brew, I would suggest that you have it analyzed by a competent chemist and then you will be in a position to tell whether it, is in violation of the law to manu-j facture, sell or posses*, home brew. I am glad to give you this informa- tion aa requested in your letter and would be glad also for you to have | your letter and this answer publish ed, as stated by you, for the infor mation of those who contemplate go ing into the home brew business. I would suggest, though, to all such thnt they have the contents of home brew analyzed before making or sell- or possessing any, us ignorance of the law of the contents of home brew will noi excuse anyone. The law presumes a person knows what making selling or possessing could know by the exercise of ordin- :arc and diligence. Yours sincerely, JAMES B. PARK.
