Well, here’s something I can get behind. I am a relatively newcomer to Maryland, after all.

Marylanders for Better Beer and Wine Laws…advocates for beer and wine laws that: 1) benefit consumers; 2) promote competition; 3) protect the environment; and 4) support Maryland’s brewers and wineries.

Honestly, I didn’t know that things were really that bad. In fact, things here in Maryland seem, from a consumer’s perspective anyway, to be very similar to those in New Jersey. You can’t really buy beer or wine in supermarkets (there are some rare exceptions), alcohol retailer Sunday hours are rather restricted, and online ordering from out-of-state brewers and wineries isn’t generally possible.

But, still, I wouldn’t mind some more choice in the marketplace and, especially, some competition that results in lower prices. This is certainly something to keep an eye on.
