Licensing & Compliance

Whether you need a TTB or ABC License review or you want a our dedicated craft beer law firm to complete your applications in full, we are here to help!

Both state and federal licensing is required before opening a craft brewery. The forms involved can be long, complicated, and downright confusing. But we are here to help from the initial application to label approvals in both jurisdictions. Our office has extensive experience with the maze of licensing required in getting start-ups both brewing and bottled. We can assist you in formulating a plan that takes into account sensitive timelines and frequently time-consuming formalities.

Furthermore, we are well-versed in the mountain of compliance issues faced by craft breweries and their staff. While compliance violations can be a costly misstep in your business, The Craft Beer Attorney, APC has years of practice assisting breweries with everything from tied-house restrictions, donations, social media, beer dinners, and other special events. We also keep a constant eye on new and proposed legislation in the craft beer industry so that we can keep you up to date and running as efficiently as possible.
