It is unbelievable just how antiquated, and in some cases, simply bizarre certain laws on the regulation of beer can be. Even more surprisingly, some of them are still considered ‘good law’! I thought I would share my top 11 ‘fun beer laws’ with you, have a read and let me know what you think- I can’t see these laws being strictly enforced- can you?
- It is illegal to brew or import Beer in Nigeria yet it is perfectly legal to drink it, as long as you are over the age of 18- seriously!! How does that work????
- In Scotland, it is illegal to be in possession of a cow whilst under the influence of alcohol! A rather strange law don’t you think? It makes you wonder what incited the Scots to implement such a law!
- It is illegal to get married in the UK whilst under the influence of alcohol- that’s the ‘Dutch courage’ philosophy out the window then!!
- In Nebraska, it is illegal to sell beer in your premises unless you are making a kettle of soup! This makes absolutely no sense to me either!
- In Alaska, it is illegal to give beer to a moose! Would anyone actually consider doing this? The mind boggles!!
