Brewers Association: Tariffs, Craft Brewers Conference & More

From the Brewers Association:

It’s only February, but there’s already much going on in the world of craft beer.

This year, the Brewers Association has already seen several key issues emerge that could impact small and independent brewers and the craft brewing industry. From regulatory updates to policy discussions, the Brewers Association is actively monitoring multiple key federal and state-level issues.
