If I ever met him, I am sure that we would have a lot in common. If you feel like preparing a special cocktail, don’t miss his blog!

We use C because of the massive maple flavor in relation to the sweetness of the syrup. I'm sure using a lower grade syrup would be fine, but maybe result in a more subtle drink. Keep us posted!

I also hope to see some amount of dereg, but I don't think it's likely that Synder will be able to abolish the distribution network, which is an extremely powerful oligopoly. NWS & General are massive companies with very deep pockets and have been very effective at keeping other distributors (such as Northern Wine & Spirits - who after years of lawsuits will finally become a distributor here) out of the state. I just don't see those guys going down without a fight. Thanks for the comment David.

Snyder has an advisory panel looking at liquor licensing and control issues in an effort to streamline the system. One issue being explored is getting rid of the state store distribution network. Mackinac Center also submitted these free market based ideas to the advisory panel. Living in a relatively free market state like Illinois does have its advantages, but the state's antiquated laws on production have kept brewing and alcohol distillation behind Michigan and Wisconsin.

I'm so glad I moved to a state where I don't have to put up with that nonsense any more. Nebraska is a "free state" as far as its liquor laws, but when it comes down to what products the distributors were willing to by, we were by no means "running with the dick punchers."
