SL-001 TTB and the government shutdown

Listen in app
Welcome to a Sightlines episode of the Good Beer Hunting podcast where we
dig in to a timely topic with experts from around the country, working to
make you and us smarter about what’s going on in the beer industry right
now.

This week, brewers around the country are dealing with the ramifications of
the government shutdown, which means that key agencies like the Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, often referred to as the TTB, are entirely
unresponsive, meaning almost nothing new can legally come to market until
it’s re-opened and the backlog is cleared. The TTB is critical for brewers
who need label and formation approvals for their beers in order to package
and sell them. So what’s going to happen in an industry that survives
almost exclusively off new releases?

To get us up to speed, we’re going to talk to Jared Treanor, Brand Manager
of Brewery Ommegang in New York, and Ashley Brandt, a Chicago Attorney who
works with breweries of all sizes.
