The Brewers Association (BA) has launched a powerful new tool for your business. Members now have direct access to a set of four searchable databases that make the nation’s complex alcohol laws more accessible.

Instead of combing through dense statutes or hiring costly consultants at the onset of your research, you can now more easily:

• Plot your growth strategy by comparing producer licenses across various states and seeing exactly what privileges (on-premise, off-premise, self-distribution, production limits) come with each.
• Negotiate smarter with wholesalers by understanding their legal protections before you sit down at the table.
• Expand your reach by learning where and how you can sell directly to consumers, whether in your own state or across borders.
• Forecast profitability by modeling how state excise taxes, or control state mark-ups, will affect your pricing.

This database is not only essential compliance data, but also a competitive advantage. Whether you’re eyeing new product lines like cider or spirits, or simply looking to ship more beer to more enthusiasts, these resources help you see the legal landscape clearly before making a move.

We will continue to update the databases annually, so you’ll always have the latest information as laws evolve. These tools will empower you to make faster, smarter, and more confident business decisions.

Disclaimer: No database can replace legal advice from a qualified attorney, and the BA advises members not to rely solely on its state legal resources when making important company decisions.
