Topics we will cover include the historical bases for alcohol regulation, the three-tier system, licensing and regulation, ABC enforcement procedures, and various compliance requirements. We will also lightly touch on various legal issues that impact craft-breweries, including entity formation and intellectual property (trademarks).

This course will also familiarize you with the surprisingly wide spectrum of legal issues that attorneys representing California craft breweries must be familiar with to competently perform their work.
