@joshfromcincy @StevenOnTheMove @beercruncher @BrewersAssoc Franchise laws vary from state to state, so it often falls on state guilds to do the heavy lifting on reform. @BrewersAssoc has been supportive, helpful and available to our campaign. We need people to contact lawmakers and push for hearings on our bills: ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom

@StevenOnTheMove @beercruncher @BrewersAssoc I don't know about the BA, but the Ohio Craft Brewers Association has worked with legislators to get a bill on the books. I can't remember the date on the vote, but it's coming up. We're pushing hard for it.

Few want to admit this, but it's true. Distribution.

@FatHeadsBeer Make sure you get your tickets now: this event sells out every year! beerfesttickets.com/winterwarmer20…

Stop out and see us at @OhioCraftBeer's Winter Warmer Fest next Saturday (1/2), 1-5pm at Windows on the River! We'll be there, along with a bunch of other incredible Northeast Ohio breweries, pouring Hop Juju, Bone Head, Stumble Berry and Thumper Pils!

My latest policy brief for @TheBuckeyeInst on changes needed to an old #Oh law keeping @OhioCraftBeer from growing even more. Researchers with @TheJusticeDept found laws like Ohio's are "inhibiting the growth of the craft brewing industry." See justice.gov/atr/page/file/…… 1/2

When a law doesn't work, we repeal it. Ninety years ago today, we ended Prohibition. Today, Ohio's beer lovers should urge state legislators to remove an outdated law that restricts the growth of small breweries and robs consumers of their market power. ohiocraftbeer.org/repeal-day-2023

Only a few hours left in the 2023 Ohio Craft ExBEERiences Silent Auction! Place your bids by 5 p.m. tonight on tours and tastings, brew day sessions, sporting events, merch packages and so much more from nearly three dozen Ohio breweries! ohiocraftbeer.org/auction

@davidnilsenbeer Our Winter Warmer Fest is consistently great. Lots of brewers in attendance, everyone brings A+ beers, generally a dozen or more cask ales/infused firkins unique to the event, beautiful venue. Cleveland loves this event and it sells out every year. ohiocraftbeer.org/winter-warmer-…

“Distributors worth hundreds of millions of dollars do not need protection from our local neighborhood breweries.”

@RubiconEHS @DaveRiceEHS We’ll update that graphic on the website soon… 😉🍻

You can help level the playing field for Ohio’s craft breweries by contacting your state legislators and urging them to support the Ohio Craft Brewer Freedom Act: ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom

Our push to reform Ohio’s unfair, antiquated franchise law took a big step forward today. The law was written in 1974 to protect small businesses, but now is actively hurting small, independent breweries to the benefit of large, powerful beer wholesalers. ohiocraftbeer.org/franchise-law-…

Ohio's independent craft breweries were responsible for $1.27 billion in economic impact in 2022 as the industry continues to rebound from the pandemic-induced downturn. ohiocraftbeer.org/ohio-craft-bee…

Laws dating back to the '70s make contracts between brewers and distributors uniquely difficult to terminate in Ohio. Joke is that it's easier to divorce your wife of 30 yrs than it is to break up with your wholesaler. @OhioCraftBeer wants to change that. crainscleveland.com/manufacturing/…

@JeremyNobile @OhioCraft I think you meant @OhioCraftBeer 😉🍻

You can help change this antiquated law today by speaking up for small breweries: ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom

Ohioans don't always know how craft beer gets to market, or that the distributors who deliver it use an unfair 50-year-old law to trap small breweries in unbreakable contracts. Please take a moment to support small brewers and amend this outdated law: ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom

Relationships between small breweries and big distributors are supposed to run smoothly. But when a small brewery's needs aren't being met, they have no way out of the contract due to an antiquated law. Please take a minute today to help us change that: ohiocraftbeer.org/freedom
