Bill Change: Homebrewers No Longer Required To Be Head Of Household

DENVER (AP) - Good news for single beer brewers: an outdated requirement that Colorado homebrewers be a "head of a family" is on its way off the books.

The state Senate Friday voted 34-0 Friday for a bill changing that language from "head of a family" to "adult."

Colorado's homebrewing law lays out who can brew beer or wine without a liquor license. Currently the law requires those home brewers to be "head of a family," though the requirement is considered an anachronism and isn't enforced.

The brewing update has already passed the House and now heads to the governor's desk.
