Brewery Fans!
The 2020 Minneapolis Legislative Session officially began on February 11, and with it comes some exciting news for Minnesota craft beer fans. The Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild (MNCBG) has introduced The Responsible Consumption Choice Bill, which would allow breweries and brewpubs to to sell beer in 12oz, 16oz, 750ml, and 64oz containers!
[What would this mean for your brewery and your consumers?]
Over the next few months, we will be working together with more than 150 Minnesota breweries and brewpubs to get this legislation passed. We need all supporters of Minnesota craft beer to raise their voices in support of modernizing Minnesota craft beer law! Learn more about our goals, and get involved at: www.craftbeerlaws.org!
Additional resources will be added, and will be mailed directly to your taproom or brewpub.
Encourage your customers and staff to email or call their legislators to show their support for our bills. Instructions below can be included on blogs, websites, social media, or in email blasts to your fans.
