The alliance wants to change a law put in place in 1974 that restricts small craft brewers from negotiating with wholesalers, locking them into contracts.
CLEVELAND — Today the Ohio Craft Brewers Association officially announced the launch of their new advocacy campaign: Brewers Freedom Alliance. The alliance includes more than 300 brewers from across Ohio, plus their supporters. The alliance wants to reform a law put in place in 1974 that restricts small craft brewers from negotiating with wholesalers, locking them into contracts.
"So, the wholesalers here in the state of Ohio petitioned the state legislature to enact this franchise law, which basically, for all intents and purposes, binds the manufacturer to the wholesaler. The wholesaler, in essence, owns the rights to sell the brand in the territory that you've assigned them," Haggerty said.
"What it does is it allows us to negotiate performance expectations with our wholesale partners, right, and then hold them accountable for that. And so that, in turn, should make it better for not only the breweries but for the consumers as well," Haggerty said.
