A lawsuit has been filed in Oregon U.S. District Court by several Washington brewers challenging the constitutionality of certain Oregon laws allowing in-state brewers to self-distribute and ship direct to consumers while denying out-of-state brewers those same abilities. The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that these laws violate the Commerce Clause and discriminate against out-of-state beer producers engaged in interstate commerce.
