Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) reactionary budget has a provision to overhaul the state’s regulation of the beer industry.
In a state long associated with beer, the provision will make it far more difficult for the Wisconsin’s craft breweries or micro-breweries to operate and expand their business by barring them from selling directly to restaurants and liquor stores.
The new provision makes craft brewers, the 60 of whom make up just 5 percent of the beer market in Wisconsin, function like corporate mega-brewers.
All will have to use a wholesale distributor to market their product. The small brewer located near a restaurant will have to hire middle man to deliver beer.
The GOP really helps small business people, doesn't it?
