Longtime Brewers Association counsel Marc Sorini provides his annual overview of the year’s developments at the intersection of law and craft beer. Topics this year will include the new federal excise tax laws, ongoing policy struggles over brewery taprooms and other retail rights, recent developments in the law of brewer-distributor relations, and developments in advertising law that should serve as cautionary tales for craft brewers. An engaging speaker, Marc takes seemingly-dry topics and brings them to life, making him one of the CBC’s longest-tenured speakers, having spoken at the CBC since 1998.
