AUG 18, 2017, Megan Miller: The Weekly Times reports on the change of law in Australia regarding hemp seeds being legalised for consumption, and the subsequent release of East 9th Brewing’s Hemp Ale.
“Up to 50,000 litres of the beer, made using organic hemp seeds, will hit venues nationally in kegs — with bottles or cans expected in early 2018.
In April, state and federal health ministers gave the green light for hemp seeds to be legalised as a food source — almost 20 years after hemp farmers first rallied for the change.”
