Movement in Florida to Allow Craft Brewers to Self-Distribute and Provide Certain Franchise Reforms

House Bill 499 would allow brewers producing up to 1000 barrels per year to self-distribute and allow for the smallest brewers (producing less than 1000 barrels per year) the opportunity to terminate a distributor contract with a process. The bill is moving, seen as a priority measure for the leadership of the House, and passed its first subcommittee with a 13-2 vote. In early March, State Government Affairs Director Sam DeWitt flew to Tallahassee to participate in a successful hill climb with members of the Florida Brewers Guild. That effort plus a sustained messaging campaign underwritten by the BA has put Florida on the cusp of some big wins for small brewers.
