They said that they require their wholesalers to keep the beer refrigerated and under Oklahoma State law you cannot put conditions like that on wholesalers. Also, you can&#8217;t just pick a wholesaler to sell your stuff exclusively. If you offer your products to one, you have to offer your products to all wholesalers. So, since they are very concerned about the quality of their product they just don&#8217;t sell it in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5811018139\/\" title=\"Photo-0199.jpg by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo-0199.jpg\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/5811018139_592c4d7b60-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you but I am so proud of our Oklahoma legislators and regulators. They are working hard for our Oklahoma liquor wholesalers. The liquor wholesalers and retailers in Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, and New Mexico and bootleggers everywhere stand in solidarity of their position.<\/p>\n<p>Enough of that, how about a recap of Church Camp 2011.
