The fight over beer distribution

Wondering where this fight over self distribution of beers is coming from? I certainly was. Well, if you go to the National Beer Wholesalers Association page you can see their rationale for pushing all beer sales through distributors. Without them we'd apparently be drinking poison and dying all the time.

Here is a decent article outlining the fight over self distribution nationally. http://www.examiner.com/article/small-brewers-battle-for-self-distributi...

Also, this page shows you the states that still have self distribution and describes the relevant laws. http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/government-affairs/self-distribu...

So, it looks like the NBWA is really trying to eliminate these self distribution laws and we just got to experience the methods.
