On May 15 the Brewers Association provided TTB with a priority list of outstanding regulatory requests, some dating back as far as 2017. They range from modernizing the regulations governing labeling and advertising non-alcoholic beer (a BA petition first filed in 2020) to repealing regulatory restrictions on the size of alcohol content statements. BA continues to urge TTB to move forward more quickly with efforts to modernize and streamline its regulations.
