Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a watered-down bill allowing craft breweries to let customers take home as much as 72 ounces of beer, or the equivalent of a six-pack, but only as a “souvenir.” The legislation’s sponsor, Sen. Hunter Hill, R-Atlanta, said Wednesday that Deal had signed a version of SB 63 that permits customers to take home beer from craft breweries — but not as much as brewers wanted.
