MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama House has passed a bill that
would allow stronger beer to be sold in Alabama.

allow some imported and gourmet beers with a higher alcohol content
to be sold in Alabama.

alcohol content no higher than 6 percent by volume. The bill
sponsored by Rep. Thomas Jackson of Thomasville would allow beer
with an alcohol content up to 13.9 percent by volume.
The bill now goes to the Senate for debate.
