That makes sense - good business decision on the part of the airline. We have to keep dangerous homebrew-sippers off of commercial flights! I don't care if it inconveniences a couple hundred people and wastes God knows how much fuel, if you let Homebrew Guy get away with it, next week it'll be homemade apple wine, and after that who knows. Total anarchy in the air!

I would have been very happy to be a passenger on that flight.
