The ongoing Boycott of Mutual Distributing
It turns out that Mutual Distibuting Company has decided to use a lobbyist to work toward changing and potentially defeating HB392. Make up your own mind whether or not to support a boycott of any beer, wine, and soft drink distributed by Mutual.
If you want to let Mutual know how you feel about their postion, please visit www.beerinator.com and follow the links presented there or visit http://www.beeradvocate.com/forum/list.php?group_id=20 and follow the links presented there. Please let all businesses know you support HB392 and that you do not agree with Mutual’s postion and if you are in agreement with the boycott that you will not be purchasing those Mutual products.
The owner is Mr. William Kennedy and his direct line is 919-828-3842 ext 1125. Please note that Mutual is partially owned by Representatvive Leo Daughtry http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=House&nUserID=26 and it is the lobbyist from Mutual that is causing issues within the General Assembly.
(As your newsletter editor I should point out that CARBOY as an organization has not publicly decided to support a boycott but may do so in the future.)
