I was no longer living in the state at this time, but my recollection is that some of the big beer distributors lobbied hard to keep that 6% threshold and were successful for a quite a while. Free the Hops eventually organized to get the law overturned.

Per Alabama State Rep Alvin Holmes - "What's wrong with the beers we got? They drink pretty good"
