Blue laws are absolutely archaic, and they have taken a hit recently – beer and wine sales at stores are now legal in most of the state – but this is the Bible Belt, so they still hold fast in a lot of place.

The bill goes into effect the day Gov. Haley signs it, and there’s no indication she won’t. But breweries won’t be able to sell pints until employees have all the required training. If they’ve taken care of that before it becomes law, they’re good to go, but I’m not sure how long it takes to get the training they need.
