Lunchtime Lesson: Craft Beer and Beverage Law – FRI June 10th 2016
Friday lunch is a perfect time to take a break and learn about craft beer production, licensing, and trademarking. California’s craft beer market is booming thanks to recent laws allowing homebrewers to showcase their craft, and consumers to taste at farmer’s markets. But hurdles remain for producers of craft beer, ciders, and spirits to take product to market in California.
NorCalBeerLaw attorney, Andrea Pierotti, gives an overview of the tied house laws, regulations and opportunities awaiting homebrewers and craft beer producers in the wake of the repeal of Prohibition.
