This past Tuesday, April 8, members of the Virginia Beer Wholesalers Association (VBWA) were on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., participating in the National Beer Wholesalers Association’s (NBWA) annual Legislative Conference. As part of the conference’s “Day on the Hill,” our delegation met directly with Senators and Representatives to discuss key industry issues and advocate for the essential role of beer distributors in the Commonwealth.
During these meetings, state delegations distributed three fact sheets that outline the key issues that wholesalers face, and how the nation’s lawmakers can support our industry. You can view and download them below.
