craft beer legislation

Craft beer legislation governs the production, distribution, and sale of small, independent breweries' beers. It typically includes rules on licensing, production limits, and distribution rights, ensuring these breweries can compete with larger manufacturers. Federal laws, like those from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), set nationwide standards, while state laws vary, affecting how breweries operate in each area. Legislation often aims to support local brewing communities, promote economic growth, and ensure responsible alcohol sales. Overall, these laws balance industry growth with public safety and regulation compliance.
