It was week one at the 2025 Virginia General Assembly...until it wasn't. Here's the recap and what comes next.
Phil eyeballs some of the issues on the horizon and shares insight from VBWA's Emerging Leaders program.
As we reflect on the recent VBWA/VWWA Annual Convention held this month in Ponte Vedra, Florida, I am filled with gratitude and pride...Let’s continue to build on this momentum and look ahead to a promising summer and future.
Rolling off a successful 2024 General Assembly session, we look ahead to our plans for the remaining eight months: Emerging leaders, evolving an old tax, and standing up for the wholesale tier.
We sit down with the NBWA’s David Christman, a more than 20-year veteran of the National Beer Wholesalers Association who today manages state-level affairs for the association and is a main point of contact for state wholesaler associations. They discuss a number of issues impacting every tier of the Three Tier system, from “crossover” brands (a la hard sodas and teas) to post-COVID direct-to-consumer regulations, craft beer challenges, the rise of canned cocktails and Virginia’s new self-distribution system for brewers.
