Is there a Human more Yuman than you, man? Of course. It's Chris Wheeler from Yuma. Yuman is the official demonym of Yuma. In the same way that Tucsonians live in Tucson and Phoenicians live in Phoenix, so too are Yumans in Yuma. And yes, I can't believe that "More Human Than Yuman" is a unique Google search term, but go ahead and Google that.

Andrew Bauman sat down with Chris Wheeler from Prison Hill Brewing Co., the Pride of Yuma. Meanwhile Rob teases the travel bug in Madison and Milwaukee.

In this episode, recorded at 100 Mile Brewing Co. in Tempe, hosts Andrew Bauman and Rob Fullmer are joined by Camila Alarcon, General Counsel for the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. The trio navigates the complex "gray areas" of alcohol legislation, from the historical evolution of smoking bans to modern-day disputes over restaurant food ratios and underage drinking enforcement. They provide an inside look at the administrative hurdles of liquor licensing and a controversial proposed ordinance in Tempe aimed at preventing drink tampering.

The following discussions do not constitute legal advice! The listener will understand that these issues are complex and vary on business model, locale, and other highly specific matters that are best discussed with a liquor attorney/agent. If you filed your license as your agent, that person is you when it probably should be a qualified liquor attorney. Contact your guild for a referral.

Licensing and Interim Permits: The group discusses the technical fears regarding liquor license renewals and the five-year felony rule, emphasizing how administrative filing errors can jeopardize a business's ability to carry over employees.

High Tops vs. Restaurants: A deep dive into the "Series 12" restaurant license requirements, where agents may audit a business based on its furniture (high-top tables) or whether they make their own ranch dressing from scratch to determine if it is truly a restaurant or a bar.

Tempe's Anti-Roofie Ordinance: The hosts discuss a proposed Tempe law that would require bars to have drink covers and drug-detection products on hand to prevent "roofing".

The Tempe Tavern Incidents: A breakdown of the legal process following two major raids at Tempe Tavern, where hundreds of underage individuals were arrested. The discussion covers the use of ID scanning technology as a potential legal defense.
